These were precursors for an important developmental milestone that’s happening in your child’s mouth–their permanent adult teeth are starting to come in.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The growth and development of the teeth and jaw is unique for every child. And while some children are fortunate to develop perfect dentition, most children require some type of orthodontic treatment to achieve a perfectly aligned, healthy, and confident smile for life. Annual orthodontic visits are essential to determine the ideal timing for treatment based on your child’s growth and unique tooth and jaw development.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first see an orthodontist by age seven.\u003C/strong> This initial exam is all about assessing your child’s mouth and catching potential issues early before they become bigger concerns in the future.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>“But my child still has baby teeth”\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Your child’s baby teeth set the foundation for their permanent teeth and how they will be positioned.

However, even if your child’s teeth appear to be straight, there are many other orthodontic concerns that only a specialized orthodontist can evaluate and detect. If your Rapids orthodontist confirms that your child’s jaw, teeth, and bite are indeed perfect, that’s great! If there’s a developing problem, we can detect and monitor it until treatment is necessary.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>The race against the clock\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Kids are constantly growing and changing, so orthodontic treatment is often a race against the clock. In some cases, early orthodontic treatment can achieve results that may not be possible once your child’s mouth and jaw are finished growing. (Did you know that the upper jaw and lower jaw don’t even grow at the same pace? The upper jaw stops growing around age eight, while the lower jaw continues growing along with the rest of your child’s body.)\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Taking your child to the orthodontist for an annual exam starting at age seven allows for the detection of developing issues that may benefit from early correction. Sometimes a two-phased approach to orthodontic treatment starts during the childhood years to guide a child’s jaw and permanent teeth into a more favorable position – reducing the severity of the orthodontic problems so treatment is less complicated when the permanent teeth are present.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Most often, however, orthodontic issues are addressed with a single phase of treatment that begins closer to the teenage years when the majority of permeant teeth are present. You can trust our experienced, specialized doctor to provide you with an honest evaluation of your child’s smile each year, to ensure their treatment and timing are as efficient and effective as possible.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>Signs of trouble\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, there are signs–some obvious, some not so obvious–that indicate when your child might need orthodontic treatment:\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Struggling to bite or chew properly\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Struggling to speak correctly\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Difficulty breathing with their mouth closed\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Losing baby teeth too early\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Not losing enough baby teeth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Signs of crowding as permanent teeth come in\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Crooked or angled teeth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>A bit that doesn’t come together correctly\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Shifting their jaw when they close or open their mouth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Grinding or clenching their teeth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Biting the inside of their cheek or the roof of their mouth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Snoring or difficulty sleeping\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003Cp>But again, even children with seemingly perfect pearly whites should visit an orthodontist starting at age seven for an exam (and then each year thereafter), just to make sure there are no hidden problems.

The overall health, wellness, and beauty of your smile is a critical piece of your overall wellbeing—both physical and mental. That’s why it’s so critical to visit your dentist for routine exams and dental maintenance throughout your life. When the time comes to correct problems with the alignment of your teeth and jaws, head straight to an orthodontist for specialized orthodontic treatment.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>What’s so special about an orthodontist?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Orthodontics is so much more than just straightening teeth for a better smile. The misalignment of teeth and jaws can cause a wide range of serious health issues and pain including speech impediments, chronic headaches and TMJ, sleep apnea, and digestive issues. Only an orthodontist has years of specialized training beyond dental school required to effectively correct an improper bite or jaw alignment to improve your ability to chew, speak clearly, and avoid problems like tooth decay.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the physical benefits, a properly aligned jaw and bite provides psychological benefits, too. Imagine the feeling of self-confidence a beautiful smile will bring to life’s big moments such as a first date, wedding, or pivotal job interview. In fact, Psychology Today reports that, as an indicator of happiness, a wider smile actually increases your lifespan by as much as 7.2 years.*\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>The impact of oral health on overall health\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>A good bite does a great deal more than simply make it easier to bite, chew, and speak clearly. An article published by Harvard Health Publishing** suggests a connection between gum disease and heart disease.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Proper orthodontic care creates healthy changes in the jaw bones, facial bones, and soft tissue as it moves teeth into proper alignment. Word of advice? Follow your orthodontist’s instructions and keep your regularly scheduled appointments. The result will be a healthier smile that not only lasts a lifetime, but a longer lifetime.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Although early intervention is preferable, appropriate orthodontic treatment can provide a lifetime of healthy, pain-free smiles, no matter what your age. Benefits include:\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Improved appearance\u003C/strong>: By shaping the look of your smile and face, proper teeth and jaw alignment can influence your self-confidence, how often you smile, and the first impression you make on others.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Proper jaw and bite alignment\u003C/strong>: Proper jaw and bite alignment improves the ability to chew properly, which means less digestive issues. Proper alignment can also help alleviate face, head, and neck pain as well as issues caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction like headaches or muscle spasms. It can also help alleviate, or improve, some speech impairments.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Healthier teeth and gums\u003C/strong>: Proper tooth alignment eliminates those hard-to-reach spots that can be tough to brush or floss. This reduces the risk of cavities, periodontal disease, gum inflammation, and bone destruction, making your trips to your regular dentist easier and less expensive.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Less wear and tear\u003C/strong>: Over time, the excessive pressure from unhealthy and misaligned chewing and biting wears down teeth, causing them to weaken, chip, or even break.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Greater self-confidence and self-esteem\u003C/strong>: The psychological effects of a healthy, well-aligned smile cannot be overstated. The way you feel about your smile and how you speak impacts the way you feel about yourself, as well as how you approach your daily life.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>What about treatment from someone other than an orthodontist?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>Only an orthodontist has the specialized training to diagnose, prevent, and treat orthodontic issues to ensure proper alignment of the teeth, mouth and jaw. An orthodontist has received 2-3 years of additional training beyond dental school that is focused on safe tooth movement and the appropriate guidance of dental, jaw, and facial development.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Seeing someone less qualified can actually do more harm than good as others may at best be untrained in orthodontic issues, or at worst, focused on “quick fixes” which will lead to more costly procedures down the road.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>When should I see an orthodontist?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends an initial orthodontist evaluation no later than age 7, while most children still have a mix of permanent and baby teeth. This is the ideal time to detect a problem if one is developing. Your Rapids orthodontist can then monitor the problem to ensure treatment is provided at the appropriate time, usually between the ages of 9 and 16.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>If you notice a problem sooner, however, there’s no reason to wait. The AAO recommends seeing an orthodontist for any of the following concerns:\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Early or late loss of baby teeth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Difficulty chewing or biting\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Mouth breathing\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Sucking the thumb or fingers, or other oral habits\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Crowded, misplaced or blocked-out teeth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude, or are recessed\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Speech difficulty\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Biting the cheek or biting into the roof of the mouth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Protruding teeth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Teeth that meet in an abnormal way, or don’t meet at all\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Facial imbalance or asymmetry\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Grinding or clenching of teeth\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Inability to comfortably close lips\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003Cp>Don’t delay or hope a problem will go away on its own. Some problems only get worse when left uncorrected, leading to more intensive and costly treatment later.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>No referral is necessary for quality orthodontic care. In fact, your Rapids orthodontist offers a no-cost evaluation, including digital x-rays, an iTero® scan with 3D model of your teeth and gums, and consultation with a doctor.
