It is possible to identify at an early stage, your child’s developing growth pattern and potential bite problems. Early detection affords the possibility of ‘interceptive’ orthodontics, which may eliminate developing bite problems and avoid complex lengthy treatment in teenage years.
You may be aware that there is a genetic component to bite problems, so as a parent if you have had a problem with your teeth or bite or orthodontic treatment in childhood, it is very likely that your child may also need treatment.
The good news is, that you have a golden opportunity to eliminate or reduce the severity of the problems for your child, by seeking advice at an early stage. We recommend a first visit to the orthodontist whilst the milk teeth are still there.
