The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic exam at age 7. At Anne O’Day Orthodontics, we adhere to these standards of care but believe a conservative approach to teeth straightening is best with younger patients. In some cases, correcting dental problems while a child is young allows the teeth to become more stable and less likely to cause problems later – perhaps avoiding the need for placing braces on crooked teeth. If a child is not a good candidate for early treatment, we’ll recommend waiting to begin orthodontic treatment at a later date, when permanent teeth have all come in.
Some of the more common treatment options during early interception include:
Early interception also deals with habit-breaking issues, including thumb-sucking, tongue-thrusting and nail-biting habits. These are common problems with young children that can create big dental problems later. At Anne O’Day Orthodontics, we combine psychology and positive reinforcement with appliance use on a case-by-case basis.
