We know that our conscientious moms and dads are on the lookout for ways to ensure that their precious little ones maintain optimal dental health. This is why our team of dental health providers includes Dr. Sien Siao, expert Orthodontist in Brentwood, CA.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children who require braces to align their teeth and jaws most often start treatment between the ages of 9 and 14. However, it's wise to begin the evaluation process sooner in some cases. Here is a list of indications that it may be time to request an orthodontic evaluation for your youngster:
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
- Difficulty in chewing or biting
- Mouth breathing
- Finger sucking or other oral habits
- Crowding, misplaced, or blocked-out teeth
- Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude or retrude
- Speech difficulty
- Biting the cheek or biting into the roof of the mouth
- Protruding teeth
- Teeth that meet in an abnormal way or don't meet at all
- Facial imbalance or asymmetry
- Grinding or clenching of teeth
Beginning orthodontic treatment at the earliest possible opportunity produces excellent results, and can mean a lifetime of beautiful smiles and great dental health for your child!
