When To Seek Orthodontic Treatment
Ortho treatment can be recommended for adults and kids. At MINT dentistry, we recommend that you have your child evaluated for orthodontics when they are about seven years old. Sometimes, we may recommend the evaluation at an even earlier age. A full assessment can be provided so that we can see how the teeth, jaw, and gums are forming so we can customize an orthodontic treatment plan. Scientific research has shown that dental development is most active before the teen years from age 7 – 11 years old. Visiting an orthodontist early on gives you the opportunity to plan for developing needs and understand what to expect before it is time to get orthodontic treatment. Although some patients won't need braces at a young age, early intervention may help to control overcrowding. If needed, we can extract some teeth to allow room for proper alignment. Having orthodontics early also helps improve a misaligned bite.
Reasons for Orthodontics
There are several reasons why orthodontic treatment for kids or adults is needed and/or desired. Some common reasons patients get orthodontic treatment are: overlapping or overcrowded teeth, wide spaces, an overbite or underbite, buck teeth (upper dental protrusion), as well as a cross bite. A treatment with braces or Invisalign from MINT dentistry can create a more symmetrical, aligned smile. During your orthodontic consultation, we’ll be able to pinpoint the specific issue and discuss the appropriate treatment to improve your smile.
