Stellar Dental Care Orthodontics for Children

When it comes to your child’s dental health, one of the major services we supply as a Buffalo children’s dentist is orthodontics. To ensure a winning, stellar smile, we recommend children as young as 7 ½ should get an orthodontic checkup. At this stage in their development, children have enough permanent teeth that an orthodontist can determine if any steps need to be taken for correction.

Typically, though, many children will begin orthodontic treatment between the ages of 9 and 14, should they need it. Early clues for the need for orthodontic work include the following:

• Early or late loss of baby teeth
• Difficulty in chewing or biting
• Breathing through the mouth
• Thumb sucking
• Crowded, misplaced, or blocked-out teeth
• Jaws that are too far forward or back
• Biting the cheek or biting into the roof of the mouth
• Protruding teeth
• Upper and lower teeth that don’t meet, or meet in an abnormal way
• An unbalanced facial appearance
• Grinding or clenching of the teeth

During the course of an initial visit, five essential questions will be covered:

• Is there an orthodontic problem, and if so, what is it?
• What are the options to correct the problem?
• Is there a possibility teeth will need to be removed?
• About how long is the recommended treatment expected to take?
• How much will the recommended treatment cost?

Once these factors are determined, our orthodontist will be able to supply treatment during later visits to:

• Guide jaw growth
• Lower the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth
• Correct harmful oral habits
• Improve appearance and self-esteem
• Guide permanent teeth into a more favorable position
• Improve the way lips meet

We’re dedicated to providing you and your family with the best dental care in Buffalo, and we look forward to being your kids’ dentist of choice.
