You may think the teen years are the best time for braces for your child. You may want to reconsider. Early orthodontics can get a jump on any type of issue your child has with the position of their teeth. It can make it possible to shorten the length of orthodontic correction. In some cases, steps that are taken when your child is younger can make it possible to avoid braces when they get older. If you or your child’s dentist has noticed concerns about the position of your child’s teeth, crowding, or too much space, finding braces for children in Austin could be a good move for you.
How Can Finding Braces for Children in Austin Help Your Child?
If your child’s orthodontist recommends early orthodontics, your child could begin as soon as the age of seven. At this point, your child’s jaw will have developed enough to get a good idea of what is going to happen when permanent teeth replace all baby teeth. If your child has a problem with their bite, it can be addressed at this early stage.
Treatment at this stage could steer the jaw in the right direction to avoid more serious problems as development continues. If there is not enough space, your child’s orthodontist can work on making more room as permanent teeth begin to push out more baby teeth. By starting early, your child may not need the next phase of orthodontic treatment. It could be possible to save teeth as well. Molars in the back are often extracted for older children when they get braces. This makes more room so braces can do their job. The main goal is to shift your child’s teeth until they are in proper alignment. Starting braces at the right time can make this process easier for your child.

Category: orthodontistI recently finished my treatment and was looking for the backup retainers. After doing my research I decided to make an appointment with Central Texas Orthodontics. I got it scheduled the same day and had my retainers ready in two weeks! Dr. St. Louis and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and cared for. I highly recommend this office to anyone who needs a new set of retainers!
