Orthodontics for young children or Early Orthodontics Palatal Expander, Habit Corrector, Braces

An early phase of treatment may precede braces to take advantage of a child's growing jaws. Early treatment moves jaw bones and chewing muscles into position, setting the stage for the most stable bite correction possible. This phase may last for a year year or more

Benefits of Early Orthodontics

• Creating a more stable long term result especially with severe bite problems
• Shortening or improving results of second phase of treatment
• Allowing for treatment at an age when children are more cooperative
• Helping prevent fracture to buck teeth
• Minimizing future jaw surgery
• Minimizing removal of permanent teeth

When is early treatment needed?

• An unbalanced profile
• An overbite, underbite, crossbite, gummy smile, deep smile or open bite.
• Overlapping or crowded teeth.
• Difficulty in chewing.
• Open - mouth breathing.
• Speech Problems.
• Tongue thrusting
• Thumb or finger sucking after age of 4.

Why do some patients have to extract teeth and some not?

In some cases a patient may need to get some teeth extracted in order to fix the braces. Teeth are only removed after serious consideration. However, if the patient is referred to a qualified orthodontist at a young age and the problem is not severe, then the entire treatment may be carried out without tooth removal. It is critical therefore to visit a dentist at the earliest sign of irregular teeth so that he may refer you to an orthodontist.

Is the treatment very painful?

The treatment is certainly painless, During subsequent adjustments or wire changes, there may be mild pain. Recent advances in Orthodontics have made treatment far more comfortable. The braces become a part of you, just like a pair of spectacles.
