Juniors
For our junior patients, North Texas Orthodontics offers early treatment, or treatment before all the permanent teeth come in. If your child has mouth-breathing or snoring issues, thumb sucking, crowding, or teeth erupting in an improper manner, they may significantly benefit from early orthodontic treatment. We can start correcting problems when your child is young to get them started on the path to a beautiful smile.
Start Your Child’s Smile Right
Did you know most of your child’s smile development occurs early in life? If your child has a crooked smile, the problem may continue and even complicate development in adolescence. Though orthodontists used to wait to place braces until all of a child’s permanent teeth had come in, advanced technology has changed our methods.
North Texas Orthodontics can get your child on the path to a healthy, straight smile now. With leading-edge technology and our skilled team, we can see the structure of your child’s teeth and discover any problems before teeth have even begun to come in. Knowing about issues like misalignment or faulty bone structure ahead of time will help us determine a corrective treatment to help your child’s adult teeth come in straighter. Early therapy also prevents problems that can affect jaw and face structure, and can start your child on a path to good oral health.
Why Early Treatment Is Important
In this short video, Dr. Kraus answers common questions about why early treatment matters and how it helps.
The Benefits of Early Stage Correction
We can save you time and money by preventing problems with your child’s teeth before they happen.
When your child has straight teeth, it’s easier to brush and floss which means fewer cavities.
Correcting your child’s teeth early will help permanent teeth come in straighter and stay that way later on. If you child needs treatment, it is less probable they will need braces as they get older.
If children see the importance of developing healthy teeth early on, good oral habits will become second nature as they grow up.
