Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of poorly positioned teeth and jaws, as well as misaligned bite patterns.
Here at Lantzy Children’s Dentistry, we will keep a lookout for signs that your child might need braces. We have an excellent relationship with many orthodontists in our community that we can refer you to!
Did you know that the American Association of Orthodontists recommend that your child be evaluated for early orthodontic treatment by age 7? By this age, your child has enough permanent teeth for an orthodontist to correctly evaluate if they will need treatment.
Orthodontists realize that every child will have unique needs and will need different treatments. The orthodontists that Lantzy Children’s Dentistry have a relationship with are the best in the area, and will give you outstanding treatment. Here are some reasons you should consider orthodontic treatment
When your teeth are aligned correctly, it makes good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing, much easier to achieve.
As the saying goes, a smile truly can light up a room. When your child gets orthodontic treatment and achieves the smile they’ve always dreamed of, you will see their confidence grow to new levels.
Does your child have a bad bite? This goes beyond the teeth as it is a problem with their jaws. Having poorly aligned jaws can cause all kinds of problems: headaches, TMJ syndrome, and it can even make it hard for them to eat.
We would be more than happy to answer any and all of your questions. It is our goal to make sure you feel totally comfortable at Lantzy Children’s Dentistry.
