Orthodontic treatment is an effective intervention applied to young patients to optimize the development of the odontostomatognathic system and enhance both function and aesthetics. Early application of orthodontic appliances in children can significantly improve their smile, while also providing a host of other benefits. By adjusting the position of deciduous teeth and guiding their eruption in the correct position of permanent teeth, braces at a young age can effectively correct bite problems and prevent future tooth extractions.

To ensure optimal treatment outcomes, we recommend that children visit an orthodontist regularly until the age of 7, as this is when the permanent first molars and incisors typically emerge. Early assessment at this stage allows us to identify potential problems and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for each child.

When treatment begins early, the orthodontist can direct the growth of the permanent dentition jaws and teeth. Early treatment can:

• Create space for permanent teeth
• Eliminates the need for extraction (removal) of permanent teeth
• Adjust the width of the upper and lower dental arch
• Eliminate the habits and vices of young patients, such as finger sucking, etc.
• Reduce the possibility of tooth retention in the jaw
• Solves phonation problems
• Eliminate abnormal swallowing, etc.

Your child's smile is a precious gem that deserves the best dental care possible. Invest in their oral health today for a brighter, healthier tomorrow.
