Orthodontic Care
As your child’s permanent teeth begin to come in, you may notice the development of common dental issues like crooked or crowded teeth. Early orthodontic treatment means we can correct potentially severe problems before they can impact your child’s oral health and function. It also helps ensure that your child’s permanent teeth have space to erupt properly in their mouths, meaning less pain and less potential for more crowding down the road.
Corrective orthodontic treatment can fix several types of issues, such as:
•
Crossbites, open bites, or buck teeth
•
Overbites & underbites
•
Crowded teeth
•
Jaw misalignment
•
Gaps between teeth
•
Misaligned Dental Midlines
•
Protrusion
Monitoring Your Child’s
Orthodontic Health
As your child grows older, he or she will undergo significant dental development. Given this, it’s important that you closely monitor their orthodontic health and watch for signs of problems. The most common signs are the following:
•
Premature or delayed loss of baby teeth
•
Difficulty biting or chewing food
•
Regularly breathing through the mouth
•
Asymmetrical or unbalanced facial aesthetics
•
Chronic habits
•
Crowded or crooked teeth
•
Bite issues
•
Bruxism (teeth grinding)
Treatment Options
Our goal for your child’s orthodontic treatment is to improve the alignment and function of their teeth, and improve their smiles, confidence, and long-term oral health. We also offer free orthodontic evaluations for new patients to find out which solution is best for your child.
