Orthodontic Treatment for Children

While some of the bite or teeth problems can be noticed by parents, most of them can only be identified by doctor orthodontists. The predominant myofunctional habits (e.g., finger sucking, breathing through the mouth, irregular swallowing, etc.) usually result in the formation of uneven jaws. In order to timely identify the pathologies of children's dental growth, it is recommended to visit an orthodontist once the child reaches the age of  6-8. With the timely detection of discrepancies between the two jaws and the appropriate orthodontic treatment, almost all occlusal problems can be corrected.

1. Treatment planning - the consultation involves a thorough diagnosis and examination of the Patient. All the necessary X-ray images, such as panoramic and side-view photos of the head, are taken. To create diagnostic models, the doctor takes dental impressions. Following the consultation, a treatment plan is drawn up and upcoming visits are scheduled.
2. Orthodontic treatment - during this stage, according to individual medical indications, a planned orthodontic appliance is fixed. According to the treatment needed, regular monitoring visits are scheduled.
3. Care - according to the applied orthodontic treatment, the doctor indicates the maintenance of orthodontic appliances and the peculiarities of oral hygiene. The duration of orthodontic treatment depends on the complexity of the problem, the chosen treatment methodology, and other factors.
