How Early Orthodontic Treatment Can Help Your Child’s Smile

As your child grows, you need to make sure all aspects of their health are in check, and that includes their oral health. The American Association of Orthodontistsrecommends children visit an orthodontist by the age of seven. Misaligned teeth can impact your child later in life if not corrected in time. Your child can also develop other health issues if their jaws don’t develop correctly. At LevelUp Orthodontics, Dr. Gage can help give your child their best smile.

 

Here are some of the benefits of early orthodontic treatment:

MAKE SPACE FOR ADULT TEETH

When you treat your child’s dental problems early, it creates more room for adult teeth. Therefore, early treatment reduces the need for tooth extraction. More room in your child’s mouth can also help with problems such as breathing through the mouth, waking up frequently at night, grinding teeth, and trouble falling asleep.

SAVE TIME AND MONEY

If oral issues are not treated, they often become worse with time. Early orthodontic treatment improves your child’s oral health, and saves them time and money in the long run. Treatment is often more expensive when the case is more complex.

IMPROVES CONFIDENCE

Most teenagers can experience self-consciousness as it is. So, starting orthodontic treatment early means your teen will smile confidently.

Your child has more options than just braces or color braces. Dr. Gagecan give your child Invisalign Firsttreatment to ensure they get the best smile. Invisalign First addresses the unique needs of your child’s smile as they grow.

KEEP TEETH CLEAN

Crowded teeth make it hard to keep your smile clean. It becomes hard to reach some areas, which leads to plaque and bacteria build-up. As a result, your child can easily develop gum disease and tooth decay. With early orthodontic treatment from a Parker orthodontist, you ensure that your child can properly clean their teeth.

REDUCE SPEECH PROBLEMS

Misaligned teeth can cause speech impediments. Correcting such issues early will prevent speech problems and allow your child to speak confidently and interact with others.
