When is it necessary for children to wear dental braces?

Recent studies show that more than 50% of children need dental braces.

Specialists draw attention that these dental problems most often lead to:

  • gastric affections caused by a mastication deficiency
  • there may be mispronunciation of certain words
  • dental decay because crowded teeth cannot be cleaned properly

Most frequent anomalies that dental braces correct:
  1. Dental crowding

  2. Dental spacing

  3. Rotated teeth

  4. Teeth that are excessively inclined

  5. Malocclusion – incorrect biting

The main causes of dental malposition are:
  • Genetic inheritance
  • Improper foods for children – under used or over used teeth because of food that is too soft or too hard, eaten frequently
  • Bad oral habits as: oral breathing, thumb sucking, bruxism, the use of a pacifier

The first appointment at the pediatric orthodontist

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that the first appointment should be around the age of seven years old. Dento-maxillary anomalies which are discovered and treated early require less treatment time and are more stable long-term.

What are the phases in orthodontic treatment in children?
  • The first step in orthodontic treatment (with braces) is the orthodontic consultation in which dental impressions are taken and then a set of x-rays and photographs are done to form a complete file which will be analyzed for personalized treatment.
  • If necessary, teeth extractions or other kind of treatment is recommended
  • After that, the braces are applied and the patient returns for monthly check-ups or activation
  • After the active phase of treatment there will be a retention phase of treatment which consists in wearing special types of appliances which maintain the final result.
