Advantages of Early Treatment
- Guide dental development to avoid lengthy and more complex orthodontic treatment later in life.
- Creating room or preserving space for crowded teeth.
- Reducing the need for removal of adult teeth later on.
- Shortening treatment time with braces if needed later on.
- Avoid possible dental surgery if teeth fail to grow and get stuck inside the jaw bone.
- Reducing the risk of trauma of protruding (sticking forward) front teeth.
- Facilitate healthy facial growth.
- Correcting undersized or oversized jaws or asymmetrical jaw growth.
- Stop poor oral habits such as thumb or finger sucking, pacifier habits beyond age six, and mouth breathing.
We strongly recommend that a child’s first orthodontic visit occurs between the ages of seven and nine, especially if any signs of teeth irregularity are detected. We have many years of experience providing orthodontic treatment for growing children and dealing with problems such as thumb/finger sucking and mouth breathing which, if left unattended, will negatively affect facial growth and dental development. Second-phase treatment may still be needed in some cases later on at approximately age 12. Having straight teeth and a beautiful smile will also boost your child’s confidence and help them to feel more secure about their teeth, in a stage of their life where their personality is developing every day.

Most Common Child Braces
