Orthodontics for kids
The aim of the orthodontic treatment at a young age is for your children to be able to show off a beautiful smile in adulthood, avoiding all the problems derived from bad alignment issues. In this stage, we are able not only to correct the teeth alignment issues, but we can also treat the anomalies in the muscle skeletal development of the oral cavity.
In kids, we use two types of treatment: removable (you can take them out) and fixed (braces). Braces can be metallic or aesthetic. Currently, the system of self-ligating braces allows us to reduce treatment time, achieve a higher precision, and even treat cases that were not possible to treat with the conventional braces.
In kids who are less than 12 years old, the treatment will mainly focus on correcting muscle skeletal problems, while in older kids, the treatment will focus on correcting malocclusion of teeth, both from an aesthetic and functional point of view.
The age of 6 is the ideal time for a child’s first orthodontic visit, except if it was contraindicated by the pediatrician.
