ORTHODONTICS FOR CHILDREN



Return to Braces & Services

Most problems involving the alignment of your child’s teeth and the growth of
their jaws can be identified by the time they are in the first or second grade.
That is why the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all
children have a check up with an orthodontic specialist no later than age 7. At
this visit the orthodontist will carefully examine your child’s bite and assess
the alignment and development of the teeth. The orthodontist will also look at
the growth and relationships of the jaws, and in particular check for any shifts
or dysfunction. It will also be determined if any premature tooth loss, habits,
swallowing or breathing patterns are having an effect on your child’s occlusion.

Following this visit the orthodontist will indicate if any immediate
preventative or interceptive orthodontic care is needed. In many circumstances
no treatment is required right away and the child can be observed until it is
the appropriate time for care. Your child’s dental development as well as their
prospective facial growth will be carefully considered in outlining the best
timetable for care.

Orthodontic treatment for children typically begins between the ages of 9 and
14. At this time they are generally in the mid to late mixed dentition stage.
This means they have a mix of permanent front teeth, permanent molars, and some
baby teeth. The benefit of placing braces at this stage is that the orthodontist
can improve the alignment of permanent front teeth, guide the incoming new adult
teeth into position, and utilize the child’s growth and development to best
advantage.

EARLY TREATMENT

Often habits such as prolonged thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and certain
swallowing or breathing patterns that can open or distort the bite are better
dealt with when care is initiated at a younger age. Early treatment is also
helpful when the top jaw is too narrow, not developing in harmony with the lower
jaw, or if permanent top teeth are behind the lower ones when closing the jaws.
Likewise, if a young child’s front teeth protrude excessively or very severe
crowding is present a first phase of orthodontic care can be beneficial.

The objectives of early treatment and a first phase of orthodontic care are to
influence jaw growth, create more space for crowded teeth, help to correct
harmful habits, and improve facial aesthetics. With early treatment the
likelihood of impacted permanent teeth as well as the need for extractions of
permanent teeth can be lessened. Early treatment can also simplify the next
phase of orthodontic care.
