Early Treatment for the Best Results
Of course you want your child's teeth to work right and look their best. Early orthodontics can help achieve those goals. During this first phase of treatment, a dental specialist, or doctor, will work with your child's jaws and muscles (also known as dentofacial orthopedics). This treatment will help permanent teeth grow into the right place and the jaws to fit together well. By starting early, you've given your child the best chance for the best results.
Why does my child need this treatment?
Either genetics or environmental factors may have influenced the developement of your child's jaws and muscles. For example, your child might have inherited a small jaw from one parent and large teeth from the other. Or, your child might suck his or her thumb or have a sleeping pattern that has affected how the cheeks and jaws have developed.
Isn't it too early to start treatment?
No. Between the ages of 5 and 10, some permanent teeth have already appeared. And during this time, the bones and muscles are growing rapidly. This is when the doctor can influence their growth to create the best bite. Things can be accomplished now that can't easily be done later - or can't be done as well. Also, with early treatment you may prevent future bite problems from developing.
What's involved in treatment?
Early treatment may last a year or longer. Your child may wear some braces during this time, but they will be used mainly as an anchor for other appliances that will influence the growth of bone or muscle. In most cases, a second phase of orthodontic treatment (full braces) is also necessary, This phase is usually started after all the permanent teeth have appeared. It helps move the teeth into their final positions.
What are the benefits of early orthodontics?
Early treatment offers many benefits, often achieving one or more of the following goals:
| - |
Enhancing self-esteem by improving the child's appearance with proper jaw alignment |
| - |
Creating a more stable long-term result, especially with severe bite problems |
| - |
Shortening or improving the results of the second phase of treatment |

The orthodontic evaluation
The orthodontic evaluation is necessary to assess your child's profile, jaws, muscles, and teeth. Your doctor may ask questions about your child's teeth and bite. X-rays, impressions, and photos are also likely to be taken. These provide the basis for your child's treatment plan. Your doctor may also discuss a payment plan with you. |

A child's developing bite
Bones and muscles form the framework of the face. In a young child, they grow quickly - and can develop problems quickly, too. When the bones, muscles, and teeth work well together, they create a stable, comfortable bite and pleasing appearance. When the bones and muscles grow improperly, the teeth don't fit together well, which can cause an unbalanced profile and other problems.

When early treatment is needed
These are some of the signs that early treatment may be necessary due to jaw or muscle problems:
| - |
An unbalanced profile |
| - |
An overbite, underbite, crossbite, gummy smile, deep bite, or open bite |
| - |
Overlapping or crowded teeth |
| - |
Difficulty chewing |
| - |
Open-mouth breathing |
| - |
Speech problems |
| - |
Tongue-thrusting (pushing the tongue against teeth while swallowing) |
| - |
Thumb- or finger-sucking after the age of 4 |
| - |
Jaw joint problems |
 |
A large upper jaw or a small lower jaw In many children, the upper jaw is large or too far forward, or the lower jaw is small or too far back. This is called an overbite (upper protrusion or lower retrusion). |
|
 |
A small upper jaw or a large lower jaw
An upper jaw that's too small is too far back or a lower jaw that's too large is too far forward. This creates an underbite (upper retrusion or lower protrusion). |
|
 |
Short arch or narrow palate If the arch is not long enough, crowding of teeth may result. Or, if the palate isn't wide enough, the upper teeth may fit inside the lower teeth (a crossbite). |
|
 |
Long upper jaw
An upper jaw that has excess vertical height may create a gummy smile. The opposite problem may also occur: If the upper jaw is too short vertically, teeth overlap, creating a deep bite. |
|
 |
Muscle problems The tongue is a very strong muscle that can move teeth if it pushes against them, especially during swallowing. Thumb- or finger-sucking can have the same effect, creating an open bite (the teeth don't meet). |
