Early Orthodontics Rockwall
Improving Oral Development, Securing Your Child’s Future Smile
Not every child will need braces. That said, young teeth and jaws require special attention when they’re not developing properly. Leading orthodontic associations recommend that you have your child assessed for orthodontic issues by the age of seven. That way you’ll know if orthodontia is in their future. If it is, the good news is that you may be able to help them avoid more complex treatment later with proven techniques. Not to mention social, developmental, and quality of life issues in the meantime.

When Are Early Orthodontics Recommended?
Children’s teeth don’t always come in as expected. Sometimes, there are too many. Sometimes too few. Excess or abnormal teeth can obstruct the most fundamental functions: breathing, eating, and speaking. Friction between misaligned teeth can eventually cause cracks and chipping. Even normal facial structures can be hindered by problems with the teeth and jaws. Using orthodontics — at a young age, typically traditional braces followed by a retainer — we can preserve a more natural facial structure for your children, give unerupted teeth a chance to grow in an overcrowded mouth, and reduce the chances of damage.
