Early Childhood Orthodontic Screenings - Downers Grove Orthodontics

According to the American Association of Orthodontists, all children should be screened for potential problems by age 7. This can catch potential problems early and allows a specialist to judge if the child is in need of early orthodontal intervention to prevent more serious problems down the road.

Children with serious overcrowding, roots that will not resorb or other problems can benefit from orthodontal treatment well before their teen years. It can also help lay the groundwork for a positive experience when they are old enough for the kind of treatment for which orthodontists are best known: Braces in the teen years.

Studies have established that protruding incisors are at greater risk of injury than front teeth. Orthodontists in Downers Grove, IL, can help with this issue, plus they can positively influence jaw growth, shorten later corrective treatment courses and improve outcomes, and reduce the odds of developing impacted teeth.
