For patients who don't want braces, Invisalign or Invisalign Teen can help you achieve that confident smile and beautiful teeth that you long for without anyone noticing. For patients requiring metal wire and bracket braces, self-ligating devices are an excellent choice to reduce malocclusions of their teeth. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends screening all children by the age of seven from a trained orthodontist.
The child may not need treatment until his early teens, but an evaluation at the age of seven will allow the orthodontist to ascertain future needs. If treatment is applicable at this age, then the orthodontist will suggest early treatment. This will prevent other issues like surgery or other more serious corrections later in life. This is called 'preventative treatment'.
Early treatment is suggested if a child has spent previous years thumb-sucking, or if the child has an early or late loss of baby teeth. Also, mouth breathing and abnormal swallowing can be addressed with early treatment.
