According to the American Dental Association (ADA), a child should visit an orthodontist for the first time by the age of seven years. Visiting an orthodontist is not only about getting braces; several other dental conditions need to be addressed for your child. Getting orthodontic treatment at an early age would yield faster and more effective results than getting it during the teen years.

People of any age can turn to orthodontic treatment and get their teeth aligned. There are multiple factors that have an impact on your orthodontic treatment and age is not one of them. If you have bite issues or other dental imperfections, it is crucial to fix them before they turn worse as you age. So as your gums and jaw bone structure are strong enough, age is just a number for your orthodontic treatment.

Thumb sucking can impact your child’s teeth alignment. Our orthodontist at Parkland Orthodontics is experienced, and having a session with her can give your child the proper tools to eliminate the thumb-sucking habit. She may also give you a few tricks, like covering your child’s finger with something bitter, etc., which will encourage them to give up the bad habit faster.

Invisalign uses the right amount of pressure to move your teeth and perfect your smile. Whether teeth are crowded, too far apart, or have shifted following orthodontic treatment earlier in life, Invisalign can fine-tune your smile without the discomfort of braces. Invisalign is suitable for adults and teens. Your orthodontist after checking your mouth thoroughly would decide if you are the right candidate for the invisalign treatment.
