Early Orthodontic Treatment @ Kirk Orthodontics Carleton Place

Certain orthodontic problems, if not treated early, can create an unhealthy environment for the growth and development of a child’s teeth, gums, jaws and face. When early treatment is indicated, benefits can include, Prevention of blocked out teeth Guiding permanent teeth to more favourable positions Reducing the need for extraction of teeth Reducing asymmetric growth of the face and jaw bones Prevention of teeth becoming stuck in the bone of the palate Prevention of teeth come in through overly thin gum tissue Prevention of the need for jaw surgery Lowering the risk of trauma to protruding teeth Correction of harmful habits Psychosocial – self-esteem benefits
