Benefits of Finding a Kids’ Orthodontist Near Me

Kids’ Orthodontist Near MeOrthodontic treatment leads to a beautiful smile, but the benefits go beyond a smile. An orthodontist is concerned about the way the jaws come together because proper jaw alignment reduces the potential for pain and difficulties with chewing. Also, straight teeth are easier to clean. When teeth are crooked, they create nooks and crannies where food particles can hide. This buildup creates an opportunity for cavities and gum disease to cause problems.

Kids Should See an Orthodontist Early

Orthodontia is for people of all ages, but when children see an orthodontist around age 7, the process of treating problems is more straightforward. If a child sees the orthodontist early, it gives the orthodontist a chance to evaluate the growth of the teeth and the jaw while the child is still growing and before the permanent teeth come in.

At this point, an orthodontist can start treatment in phases. The first phase is to guide the teeth and jaws into the best position, and an orthodontist might recommend the use of appliances and bands for this phase. When this part of the treatment is done, your orthodontist may recommend a break to allow the rest of the permanent teeth to emerge. The second phase of treatment will begin after the break, and it involves moving the teeth into their final position.

What Are the Options for Braces?

After meeting for your free consultation, Dr. Elder might have a specific recommendation for treatment. However, you might have choices. Many parents consider traditional braces, clear ceramic braces, or even Invisalign clear aligners to straighten their children’s teeth.
