Orthodontic treatments are recommended for children at various stages, depending on their individual needs. However, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have a check-up with an orthodontist by age seven. This early evaluation allows the orthodontist to monitor jaw growth and development, identify potential problems, and recommend early intervention if necessary. **Specific reasons why orthodontic treatment might be recommended for children include:** * **Severe crowding or spacing of teeth:** If there isn't enough room for all the adult teeth to erupt properly, or if there are significant gaps between teeth. * **Protruding upper or lower teeth:** This is often referred to as an overbite or underbite, respectively. Significant discrepancies can affect function and increase the risk of trauma. * **Crossbite:** When upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, which can affect jaw growth. * **Open bite:** When the front or back teeth don't touch when the mouth is closed. * **Deep bite:** When the upper front teeth cover too much of the lower front teeth. * **Impacted teeth:** When a tooth is unable to erupt through the gums. * **Harmful habits:** Such as prolonged thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting, which can affect tooth and jaw alignment. **Two phases of orthodontic treatment are often considered for children:** 1. **Early Intervention (Phase One):** This typically begins between ages 6 and 10. The goal is to guide jaw growth and development, create space for erupting teeth, and correct severe bite problems. This phase can make future orthodontic treatment simpler and more effective. 2. **Comprehensive Orthodontics (Phase Two):** This usually occurs when most of the permanent teeth have erupted, often between ages 10 and 14. This phase involves straightening all the teeth and ensuring a proper bite. It's important to remember that not all children will need orthodontic treatment, and the decision should always be made in consultation with an orthodontist.
The Children's orthodontic treatments are recommended when alterations in tooth position or in the development of the maxillary bones are detected. In Nubis Dental, we advise carrying out the First orthodontic review around age 6 or 7when the first permanent molars and incisors erupt.
At this stage, our specialists can identify potential alignment or growth problems that, if treated in time, can to avoid more complex treatments in the futureEarly treatments, also known as interceptive orthodonticsallow guidance of jaw and maxilla development, correction of detrimental oral habits (such as mouth breathing or prolonged pacifier use), and the creation of sufficient space for permanent teeth.
Children's orthodontic treatments are particularly recommended in the following cases:
- Crossbite, open bite or deep bite.
- Dental crowding or lack of space
- Teeth too far apart.
- Problems with pronunciation or chewing.
- Midline dental deviation.
In Nubis Dentalwe assess each case individually, taking into account the child's age, dental development, and specific needs, to offer effective, comfortable treatment tailored to their growth.
