Early Orthodontic Treatment in Plantation

There are still a few uninformed people out there who don’t understand the importance of early Orthodontic treatment and why it is so urgent to make sure their children are seen by an experienced orthodontist by age 7. Many young people have overcrowded or crooked teeth or teeth that don’t align properly when they bite, and this could cause the jaws to become strained, damaged, and painful. This produces even more problems for already problematic teeth, and when left unattended could become painful, not to mention costly in regard to corrective treatments that may become necessary. In some cases, this can even affect the shape of your child’s face.

Here are some reasons that orthodontic evaluations and/or treatments are necessary by age 7:

1. To prevent or correct overcrowding of teeth and prevent future oral problems
2. To correct the bite so the front and back teeth are aligned properly
3. To reduce the damage to prominent teeth to prevent further damage
4. To detect and/or treat other health problems like a cleft lip and palate or sleep apnea
5. To improve appearance and self-esteem
6. To give children their best smiles!

The AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) recommends that you should schedule an appointment for your child to see an orthodontist as early as 7 or even earlier if you notice any signs of problems with their gums or teeth. At that age, they will have some of their permanent teeth and it will be possible for the orthodontist to pick up on and prevent future problems. Dr. Maria Yazji Orthodontics believes that every single child deserves a healthy and beautiful smile and is committed in every way to helping you make this possible for your child. The first and most important part of the process is you making the call because, without your help, your child may face a future of dental issues that may plague them into adulthood.
