If your child's baby teeth are crowded, chances are the larger permanent teeth will come in crowded as well, or even crooked. Early orthodontic treatment can give your child's new teeth room to emerge, which means less need for more treatment further down the road.
A child's jaw is still growing and developing, which makes it more malleable. That means it's easier to move teeth into their proper position, and with less discomfort. It also allows treatment to correct any jaw issues that could arise later and cause pain.
Children are still developing their speech skills, and teeth and jaw issues could affect those skills. Teeth that are out of place could obstruct tongue placement while speaking and could lead to speech impediments. Braces can alleviate these issues and make it easier for your child to pronounce words properly.
Because your child's jaw is still developing, it's faster and easier to move the teeth into their proper positions. That means there may be less treatment time for your child, especially if potential dental issues can be eliminated early before they require more aggressive treatment, or even surgery.
Children can begin orthodontic treatment even though they still have their baby teeth. If your child's baby teeth have come in crooked or gapped, or if your child has an overbite or crossbite, chances are their dental issues will get worse once their permanent teeth come in. Treatment now can alleviate problems later. Let the team at Zombek Orthodonics help you decide if treatment now is right for your child.
