Timely Orthodontic Care for Kids

                                    


Our practice agrees wholeheartedly with the recommendation made by  American Association of Orthodontists that states all kids should see an orthodontist by the age of seven. By this age, the permanent back molars are in place to establish the back bite. This is when a kids orthodontist can detect any potential orthodontic issues. The Texas City Dental in Texas City is conveniently located near La Marque, Galveston, and the Hitchcock area is conveniently located near the HEB and ROSS market complex. dedicated to the removal of wisdom teeth. Our state of the art facilities to deal with Emergency dental Situation . 

Often times, our orthodontists recommend early interceptive treatment if we find problems with the development of the jaws and/or teeth. Early treatment can prevent some problems from developing that can be too late to treat once all the permanent teeth have come in.

How Your Child Can Benefits from Early Treatment

When orthodontic problems are detected and treated early in life, the treatment is very likely to be highly successful. There are some issues with the growth of the jaw that must be addressed early before the jaw stops growing and developing. In many cases, jaw misalignment problems cannot be treated successfully once all the permanent teeth are in, at around the age of 12.

If we determine that your child does not require early interceptive treatment during his or her visit to our office, we’ll still monitor his/her growth and development so we can begin treatment when the time is right.

Advantages of Interceptive Treatment

There are many advantages associated with interceptive orthodontic treatment including:

  • Can create room in the mouth for crowded, erupting teeth
  • Can create facial symmetry by influencing jaw growth
  • Can reduce the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth
  • Can eliminate the need to have healthy teeth extracted
  • Can hold space open for teeth that have yet to erupt through the gums
  • Can shorten the time spent wearing braces
