Are Braces In Your Future?

The beginning of the year is a great time for you to get your child’s dental work out of the way. For parents with older children, the first order of business usually turns to braces with the arrival of permanent teeth. Have you been wondering whether braces might be in your child’s future?

While your best bet is to schedule an evaluation with an orthodontist, here are some early signs your child will likely need some form of orthodontic care:

• Over-crowded or misaligned teeth
• “Noisy” jaw joints
• An overbite or underbite
• Jaws that seem out of proportion to your child’s face
• Difficulty chewing

If you spot any of these tell-tale symptoms, make an appointment with an orthodontist. Even if baby teeth are still present, earlier treatments to a growing jaw can help ensure long-term success.
