Orthodontic Exams Should Begin No Later Than Age Seven The following early warning signs usually indicate that your child should have an orthodontic exam: Early or late loss of teeth Difficulty in chewing or biting Mouth breathing Finger-sucking or other oral habits Crowding, misplaced, or blocked-out teeth Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude or retrude Speech difficulty Biting the cheek or into the roof of the mouth Protruding teeth Teeth that meet in an abnormal way or dont meet at all Facial imbalance Grinding or clenching of teeth
Its not unusual for us to treat an entire family, sometimes one after the other and sometimes simultaneously. Once parents see the beautiful results and the boost in self-esteem from their children after braces are off, they become excited about starting treatment for themselves. Orthodontic treatment is a change for the better, regardless of your age. The biological process involved in tooth movement is the same in both adults and children. In many cases we can achieve very dramatic facial changes with adult orthodontics. Braces will NOT interfere with your lifestyle. You can do anything with braces sing, play musical instruments, dine out, kiss, and have your picture taken.There are a few inconveniences, but you will adjust quickly. Certain treats, such as caramels and peanut brittle, will be off limits. Also, your mouth and teeth may be a little tender after adjustments. The good news is that the new techniques and materials used by our doctors greatlyreduce the discomfort of wearing braces and also decrease the frequency of office visits and overall treatment time. KareOrthodontics is also sensitive to adults busy schedules.
Creating the most beautiful smiles is what we are about. There is no reason why our adult patients should not also experience this excitement. No, you are never too old to be your best, especially here at KareOrthodontics!
