When should kids be seen by an Orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontist recommend that a child’s visit to an Orthodontist should be no later than 7 years of age. This enables early detection & intervention, if necessary, to reduce problems in later life.
Orthodontic problems in 7-10 years olds
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
- Difficulty in chewing or biting
- Mouth breathing
- Thumb or finger sucking
- Crowded, misplaced or blocked- out teeth
- Jaws that shift or make sounds
- Biting the cheek or roof of the mouth
- Abnormal bite
- Jaws and teeth out of proportion with the rest of the face.
Orthodontic treatment in teenagers can:
- Reduce risk of accidental injury to protruding teeth
- Influence the growth of the jaws to improve the bite
- Make the teeth easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay & gum disease
- Eliminate undue stresses on the jaw joints & abnormal tooth wear
