Orthodontics for preschoolers? Yes! Why should you wait for brackets at 12?
The successful trend of fixed orthodontics with brackets offers solutions in the aesthetical alignment of teeth after the age of 12 (after the eruption of permanent teeth except for the wisdom tooth). Adolescents, teenagers, and older adults now take advantage of the benefits of orthodontic treatment with brackets.
Moreover, the mirage of post-therapeutic aesthetic results leads many to believe that orthodontics with brackets (either made out of metal or diamond) is a therapeutic panacea and delays the consultation and treatment of dental-maxillary anomalies at preschoolers and students until the age of 12!
And yet, does your child breathe through his nose or mouth? Snores at night? Does he/she have sleep disturbances or bags around the eyes? Gains weight? Does he/she have a non-nutritional sucking habit (eg. his/her finger)? Does he/she gnash his teeth?
If the answer to at least one of these questions is … yes !, and your child is in preschool or primary school, then you should appoint a preventive orthodontic consultation and much less expensive treatments without brackets from one of the team’s specialists at HappyDent!
And that’s because the main functional changes that can be obtained at a young age, can no longer be obtained under any circumstance after the age of 12!
