Question 1

What is early treatment and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

Early treatment focuses on directing the growth of the developing jaw and teeth to prevent larger orthodontic problems in the future. Think of it like catching a small wave before it turns into a tsunami!

Question 2

Does every child need early treatment?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! Some children just need monitoring. But for others, early treatment can help with problems like crowding, malocclusion, or habits like finger sucking.

Question 3

At what age should my child see an orthodontist?

Accepted Answer

The best age is around 7-8! At this age, permanent teeth begin to erupt, and we can identify potential problems before they get worse.

Question 4

What does early treatment involve?

Accepted Answer

Possibly, but early treatment can make the second phase (if needed) shorter and easier by paving the way for smoother tooth alignment.

Question 5

How long does early treatment take?

Accepted Answer

Usually, it lasts 6 to 12 months, depending on the issue. Afterward, we monitor your child’s growth and plan the next steps if needed.

Question 6

Will my child still need braces later?

Accepted Answer

It may be, but early treatment can make the second stage (if required) shorter and easier by preparing the ground for smoother teeth alignment.

Question 7

Is it painful for my child?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Treatments are gentle, and we ensure your child is comfortable every step of the way.

Question 8

How do I know if my child needs early treatment?

Accepted Answer

If you notice crowded teeth, difficulty biting, jaw shifting, or oral habits like thumb-sucking, it’s a good idea to schedule a consultation.
