Orthodontics for kids; why it makes a difference

Your smile says so much about you and can even affect your life and career path, which is why orthodontics for kids can make be a sound investment in your child’s future. Crooked teeth, crowded teeth, or a misaligned bite aren’t simply a cosmetic issue, they can also have later health consequences.

These can vary from the more obvious -- difficulty with oral hygiene and with chewing, and problems with gum health – to seemingly more indirect problems such as speech issues, sleep apnoea from narrow upper airways, and even migraines.

Why early orthodontics intervention matters

There’s no doubt that treatment results are generally quicker and more predictable when it comes to orthodontics for kids, and that early assessment can prevent a host of problems later on. That’s because kids’ jaw bones do not “set” until their late teens, making corrective procedures easier and more effective. Early intervention also sets up good habits for life – from regular dental check-ups to good oral hygiene, including caring for your braces and good dietary behaviour.

Parents can play an important role in monitoring their kids for dental issues that require early intervention, including mouth breathing or snoring, chewing problems, speech impediments, an overbite, and thumb sucking. If you think your child might be struggling with these or other jaw or mouth-related problems, visit a practice experienced in orthodontics for kids, such as the team of Perth dentists at NewSmile Dental Centre. We recommend that if children are assessed by the age of seven, they are likely to have the best orthodontic outcome – but it’s never too late to get an assessment and a plan for good orthodontic management.
