Pediatric & Adolescent Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment for children and adolescents offers a solution to functional, skeletal and aesthetic problems, thus avoiding more serious problems in adulthood. Orthodontics in childhood is the rule for the normal and harmoniously guided development of the oral system. For this reason, orthodontic treatment of children needs special attention and experience.

Pediatric orthodontic treatment

What is the right age for your first visit to the dentist?

It is important that children have their first visit to the dentist by the time they are about 6 years old, in order to determine whether or not there is an occlusion problem, as well as the treatment schedule. There are orthodontic problems that need to be corrected immediately, because they can cause very serious orthodontic problems, while other times the start of orthodontic treatment is necessary to be postponed for some years later (9-11 years).

ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT

When aesthetics & health go together!

It is not only aesthetic reasons why the jaws must be properly closed. The aesthetic part is what one easily perceives and perhaps gathers the most interest. Apart from this not insignificant parameter, a series of functions are performed more correctly, contributing to the better health and hygiene of the teeth:

Proper chewing and preparation of food for digestion

They are easier to clean, thus reducing the chances of caries

Reduce the chance of developing gingivitis

Reducing the chance of joint problems

It is less prone to fractures & other injuries

Indications for orthodontic treatment

What are the signs that the child is not converging properly?

Here are some facts that may indicate the need for "orthodontic" care: premature or delayed loss of baby teeth difficulty in chewing or closing teeth - mouth breathing - finger sucking (breastfeeding) - crowded / crooked teeth and in a bad position that can not come out because they do not - space is enough - prominent teeth the upper and lower teeth do not close, or close abnormally - jaws that are far forward or far back - jaws that deviate or make sounds - the child bites his cheeks or palate - unbalanced appearance on the face - voice difficulties - Teeth clenching or grinding - change of tooth position - large overcrowding (lack of space)
