Orthodontics for children

Does my child need orthodontics?

One of the questions when our children begin to change their baby teeth for the adult ones is: will they need orthodontics? All around us, more and more children wear braces and the truth is that children’s orthodontics saves time and money: aligning teeth in adulthood is much more expensive.

In addition, certain problems that are solved with orthodontics in the childhood require more complex surgical treatments when teeth are completely developed. However, it doesn’t mean that adults can’t wear braces too.

To learn more about the different types of orthodontics, how the treatments work and frequent questions regarding these, visit invisible orthodontics or braces.

FAQ about children's orthodontics

Each case is different, but as a general rule, orthodontics is recommended between 11 and 13 years of age in girls and between 12 and 14 in boys. Of course, orthodontics is usually the last step in a series of visits to the pediatric dentist.

Depending on their problem, many children need previously another type of appliance: a fixed or removable dental expander, removable appliances to correct maxillary postures, other preventatives to guide the teeth to their correct position…

For this reason, and although it is necessary to visit the dentist from the age of two, we should think about orthodontic treatments from the age of six or seven. That is, when the adult teeth begin to appear.

It is normal that you worry about this aspect, but we are here to reassure you. At Gross Dentistas, our orthodontist, Concha Gross, treats children with orthodontics daily.

Our goal is that children enjoy coming to the dentist, so there is no need to worry: with her, the process is easy and painless. Depending on the type of orthodontics the child needs, the frequency of the visits will vary.

In these visits, the child may refer possible discomfort (always minimal) that will be reversed with the corresponding adjustments.
