/var/www/staging.cstorthodontics.com.au/wp-includes/class-wp-block-type-registry.php on line 167 What is early orthodontic treatment?

Early orthodontic treatment takes place before a child has all their adult teeth, usually when they are 8-10 years old. We can identify abnormalities early on in your child’s life and begin treatment when their teeth and jaws are easier to manipulate. This is helpful for treating a variety of orthodontic problems such as protruding teeth, crossbites, crowding, spacing and missing teeth, before more serious problems start to develop.

How do I know if my child needs early orthodontic treatment?

If you’re unsure whether your child might need to see an orthodontist, lookout for some of these telltale signs, and then book an appointment.

  • Crowded, crooked, or misplaced teeth
  • Protruding teeth
  • Crossbites with or without accompanying jaw asymmetry
  • Early, late or irregular loss of baby teeth
  • Underbite or overbite
  • Jaws and teeth that are out of proportion to the rest of the face
  • Thumb and finger sucking beyond the age of 5
  • Difficulty in chewing or biting
  • Mouth breathing

What are the benefits of early orthodontic treatment?

Early orthodontic treatment begins while a child’s jawbones are still developing. This means that the bones are still pliable and certain corrective procedures can work more effectively than they do for teens and adults. The right early treatment can lay the foundation for a healthy and well-functioning mouth in adulthood.

Early intervention is recommended where it can encourage a normal growth pattern of the jaws or encourage poorly positioned teeth to erupt more favourably. Early intervention is by its very nature kept to a minimum as it does not necessarily means that later orthodontic treatment can be avoided or more straightforward. Early intervention is often recommended where it will create a better environment for normal dental growth and development and despite the need for phase 2 comprehensive treatment, (such as with braces), the overall plan can be financially beneficial in the long run. Sometimes a child’s teeth may appear aligned and straight, but there could be underlying issues that need to be addressed to prevent more serious problems from developing in the future.

/var/www/staging.cstorthodontics.com.au/wp-includes/class-wp-block-type-registry.php on line 167 What types of orthodontic treatment are suitable for teens?

Traditional metal braces may well be the most popular option, but when it comes to choosing the right braces for teens, there are several alternatives out there.

Clear aligners can be a suitable option for minor corrections to crooked teeth or misaligned jaws and lingual braces are becoming more popular as they’re largely invisible.

For more complex cases requiring a fixed appliance, ceramic braces are also a great option for teens as they have a more subtle appearance than traditional metal braces, but achieve the same results.

Does your teen need orthodontic treatment? 

These are some of the common symptoms to look out for when considering orthodontic treatment for your teen. Remember, not all symptoms are visible, so it’s worth coming in for a consultation to be sure.

They have crooked teeth 

This is the easiest symptom to spot and the clearest indicator that your teen would benefit from orthodontic treatment. If your child’s teeth are overlapping, crooked or growing at peculiar angles, then it’s highly likely they’ll need orthodontic treatment once their adult teeth have come through.

They have an overbite or an underbite 

Overbites and underbites are often a little trickier to spot, but are also a sign that your child might develop pain or other issues as they grow up. It’s a good idea to get their misaligned jaw treated while they are young, even if their teeth are straight.

They have a speech impediment 

Crooked teeth, an underbite, or a misaligned jaw can lead to difficulty speaking, such as causing a lisp. An orthodontic consultation can help determine whether your child’s speech impediment can be corrected by orthodontic treatment.

They snore or have sleep apnoea 

Sleep apnoea and snoring can both be caused by a small or misaligned jaw. Orthodontic treatment is often used to successfully treat many cases of sleep apnoea. 

They’ve lost teeth prematurely  

Losing teeth at a young age, particularly as the result of an accident or poor hygiene, can cause the remaining teeth to shift into the vacant gap, leading to issues later on. A space maintainer, or other orthodontic treatment, may be required to help hold the gap to avoid more extensive orthodontic treatment down the track. 

My teen doesn’t want metal braces – what are the alternatives?

These are the four most popular alternatives to metal braces:

1. Ceramic braces

2. Clear aligners

3. Lingual Braces

4. Retainers

You might not realise it, but the treatment options for adults are much the same as for children and teens. There’s one big difference, however, when you’re considering orthodontic treatment as an adult, you get more choice in your treatment type.

The type of braces mostly comes down to your particular treatment needs, your budget and your preference over treatment style.

Some discreet mechanisms for straightening adult teeth with braces include lingual braces and ceramic braces. Many adults also opt for clear aligners, such as Invisalign, as they are one of the most subtle in appearance.

I’m an adult, why would I get braces?

There are various reasons people choose to get braces past their teens and not all of them are purely cosmetic. There’s no real difference between getting your teeth ‘fixed’ as an adult, compared to during teenage years. People generally see the orthodontist as a child, or teen, because it’s more conventional, and corrections can be made before larger problems arise. However, getting orthodontic treatment as an adult, is no more painful or difficult than at a younger age.

What are the benefits of getting braces as an adult?

Adults can suffer from many of the same symptoms as children and teenagers, such as crooked teeth, gaps, overbites and so on. Whether these symptoms have developed during adult life, or went unaddressed in younger years, there’s no better time get a consultation and straighten out your smile as an adult.

In many ways, getting braces as an adult can be easier than at a younger age. Firstly, you’re probably a bit more sensible and conscientious than you used to be, meaning you’ll follow orthodontic advice more carefully and really make the most of your treatment. You may also be in a better financial position, allowing you to choose a more discreet type of treatment than you would have had as a child.
