One of the most frequent questions for parents<\/strong> regarding the oral health of their children<\/strong> is when to take their children to the dentist. A periodic and early review <\/strong>from the age of two is key to prevent possible pathologies <\/strong>in the future.<\/p>\n

A child orthodontic treatment <\/strong>on time is essential to save on costs and time<\/strong>. In any case, it is a priority to analyze and study each case individually,<\/strong> in order to carry out treatments according to the needs of each child.<\/p>\n

At Gross Dentistas M\u00e1laga<\/strong> we are specialists in children’s orthodontic treatments. We have been working with children<\/strong> for many years and we must recognize that the results <\/strong>have always been optimal and satisfactory.<\/strong> For this reason, we recommend that all parents take their child to the orthodontist to ensure a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

At what age should one go to the orthodontist for the first time?<\/h2>\n

It is true that orthodontic treatments have often been linked to younger ages.<\/strong> However, more and more, we are seeing children wearing braces<\/strong>. But the big question is\u2026 At what age is it advisable to go to the orthodontist for the first time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we have commented previously, each case is particular. There is the possibility that there are children who need orthodontic treatments from 6 and 7<\/strong> years<\/strong> old. Therefore, this would be the right age to start taking your child to the orthodontic specialist for the first time.<\/p>\n

The explanation is very simple, at these ages is when the first permanent teeth begin to appear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, the recommended age to begin child orthodontic treatment ranges between 11 and 13 years for girls, and 12 and 14 years for boys<\/strong>, since this is when, in general, they have permanent teeth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is also important to note that many children need, depending on their problem, another type of appliance: a fixed or removable dental expander, removable appliances to correct maxillary postures, other preventives to guide the teeth to their correct position, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benefits of the first visit to the orthodontist<\/h2>\n

Going to the dentist at 6 or 7 years may be more beneficial <\/strong>than it seems at first, since thanks to the orthodontist checking that there is enough space in the maxilla and that the growth of the permanent teeth is correct<\/strong>, it is achieved: that crowding does not occur, malocclusions are avoided, cavities and the tendency to trauma are prevented, and correct facial development of the child is allowed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interceptive appliance<\/h3>\n

Before the appearance of the first permanent tooth, only early, interceptive or preventive treatments <\/a><\/strong>were allowed. Its use is used to combat and correct children’s deforming habits,<\/strong> abnormal positions of the tongue, prolonged use of the pacifier, fingers in the mouth at an early age, among others.<\/p>\n

Children’s appliance orthotics<\/h3>\n

Parallel to the orthodontic process, there are orthopedic appliances<\/strong> that are used to achieve an adequate relationship between the jaws and other complementary actions to orthodontic treatment. These devices can be: circuit breakers, masks, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In any case, the professional will be in charge of giving the treatment guidelines.<\/strong><\/p>\n
