Orthodontics Screening In Boca Raton
Orthodontic issues can arise in children due to various tooth and jaw problems. Dr. Rizvi may notice crowded baby teeth or an improper jaw relationship, which could indicate the need for future orthodontic treatment. Monitoring the development of permanent teeth around age 6, Dr. Rizvi can determine if early orthodontic intervention is necessary.
While braces are commonly associated with teenagers, some children may benefit from them at a younger age to create space for larger permanent teeth. Addressing issues like a narrow jaw or large overbite early on can help guide proper jaw growth and potentially prevent the need for surgery later in life. It's always best to address orthodontic concerns early to avoid more extensive treatment down the road.
The Usual Track
Orthodontic treatment is most beneficial for young people once their baby teeth have fallen out and their permanent teeth have moved into place. This process typically begins in the early teenage years, resulting in well-aligned and fully functional teeth as they enter adulthood. The duration of treatment can vary, but on average, it lasts around two years.
There are various methods available to address different orthodontic issues, but the key to successful treatment is patient compliance. Consistently wearing elastic bands, attending follow-up appointments for adjustments, and maintaining excellent oral hygiene practices are essential for a positive outcome. Regular preventive visits with a hygienist also help prevent cavities around brackets.
