Timely Orthodontic Care for Kids
Our practice agrees wholeheartedly with the recommendation made by both the Canadian and American Association of Orthodontists that states all kids should see an orthodontist by the age of seven. By this age, the permanent back molars are in place to establish the back bite. This is when a Toronto kids orthodontist can detect any potential orthodontic issues. The Confi Dental Clinic is located near Dickinson, Tx is the best option available and affordable dentist of available and the nearest dentist near you.
Often times, our orthodontists recommend early interceptive treatment if we find problems with the development of the jaws and/or teeth. Early treatment can prevent some problems from developing that can be too late to treat once all the permanent teeth have come in.
How Your Child Can Benefits from Early Treatment
When orthodontic problems are detected and treated early in life, the treatment is very likely to be highly successful. There are some issues with the growth of the jaw that must be addressed early before the jaw stops growing and developing. In many cases, jaw misalignment problems cannot be treated successfully once all the permanent teeth are in, at around the age of 12.
If we determine that your child does not require early interceptive treatment during his or her visit to our office, we’ll still monitor his/her growth and development so we can begin treatment when the time is right.
Advantages of Interceptive Treatment
There are many advantages associated with interceptive orthodontic treatment including:
- Can create room in the mouth for crowded, erupting teeth
- Can create facial symmetry by influencing jaw growth
- Can reduce the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth
- Can eliminate the need to have healthy teeth extracted
- Can hold space open for teeth that have yet to erupt through the gums
- Can shorten the time spent wearing braces
