Braces for children

To avoid teeth and jaw issues and braces installation for a child in the future, you need to pay attention to that from the very early age. Please, do not miss your scheduled visits to specialists! As early as the maternity ward, Neonatologists check, if a baby’s lingual frenulum is correctly formed, because it influences both breastfeeding, and formation, growth, and alignment of jaws in a child. By 30-36 months, old children have all baby teeth, so it is better to pay the dentist a visit for evaluation of primary teeth occlusion. It is possible to discover and prevent hidden (from parents) discrepancies in jaws development. At 5.5-6 years old, first permanent teeth appear. If you pay an Orthodontist standard scheduled visits (once every 6-10 months) with X-ray for confirmation (if necessary), you might avoid complex permanent occlusion correction methods further on. By 13-15 years old, teenagers usually have 28 teeth. They all have to be both completely grown, and in certain correlation to each other. If an Orthodontist detects deviations from the norm at this stage, the discrepancy will most likely have to be corrected for future fully fledged and proper functioning of the teeth and jaws system. In this case, braces for children often help solve this problem. Efficiency of wearing braces by teenagers is much higher than that of adults – the process is painless and quite short, and thus, installation of braces for children costs less to parents, than if this happens at a later age. What kinds of braces for children can you get at modern Clinics?
