Pre-Orthodontic Checkups for Children
It’s a good idea to take children for a checkup as early as possible, even if there are no visible problems. Pediatric dentistry helps children develop positive habits related to dental hygiene through important educational guidance. Although this is not the time to take proactive measures, it is possible to check for any misalignments and discuss potential future needs with the parents.
As a general rule, orthodontic treatment should not begin until all of the child’s baby teeth have fallen out. Orthodontic treatment should be performed on the permanent teeth, although it is possible to begin treatment even before the molars have erupted. This typically coincides with the onset of puberty, between the ages of 11 and 12.
Types of Treatment
Once we have a clear diagnosis, it is appropriate to begin treatment without delay. Dental technology offers various options, ranging from braces to dental molds or, more rarely, implants. Depending on the situation, we will opt for conservative or more invasive dental treatments. In any case, it is essential that the entire process be monitored by a specialist to avoid problems or regrettable situations in the future.
The fundamental goal is to prevent problems from recurring over time. Orthodontics is one of the most common corrective treatments for misaligned teeth. Fortunately, there are now appliances that are invisible to the naked eye, which helps boost the self-esteem of those who wear them. One technique that is gaining popularity is CSW, which reduces treatment time by 20–25% and minimizes the use of braces, since preliminary steps involving archwires eliminate the need for extended use of brackets.
