Generally, when your child finds out they’re going to need braces their reaction falls under one of two categories. Some kids are excited about the possibility of getting their teeth straightened out and coming in to talk with one of our Children’s dentistry Anaheim experts and other children need to be convinced.
Either way, parents should be able to answer a few questions and have some knowledge themselves about children’s braces. That said here’s a few things that you’ll need to know.
Sometimes there is a difference in the size of the upper and lower jaw and that can dictate whether your child has what’s called an overbite or an underbite. This is called a malocclusion. We can look after this problem or any other with a series of our preventative and interceptor orthodontics treatments that are designed to keep your child’s smile coming in beautifully.
- Regular visits to our Children’s dentistry Anaheim offices are one of the best ways to get and stay on top of any of the problems your child may have. Some of the situations that need braces can be caused by accidents and even thumbsucking as well as situations where they lose their baby teeth too early. Regular checkups can always find a small issue before it becomes a larger problem and take corrective measures.
- A child’s first orthodontic visit to see if they need corrective braces can come at several different ages. Some children are brought into our offices as early as six, while other parents wait until they are 10 and some moms and dads don’t bring their child until they are teenagers.
