Surprisingly, they can address even more issues that anyone\nthought, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Overcrowding<\/li><li>Spaces between teeth<\/li><li>Protruding teeth<\/li><li>Impacted teeth<\/li><li>Bite alignment problems (i.e. overbite,\nunderbite, crossbite, open bite)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what the problem might be, it is likely that\nbraces can give your child the smile they need and deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Recommended Age for Braces?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, by the time your child is 7 years old, it is\nrecommended that they have their first orthodontic checkup. When discussing\nwith your orthodontist in Ripon about your child potentially receiving braces,\nit is likely you\u2019ll learn about a two-phase approach associated with this type\nof dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase I Orthodontics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While your child is still young enough and has yet to lose\ntheir primary teeth, their orthodontist will use various appliances to\nencourage correct jaw and tooth development. Not only can this prevent future problems,\nbut it can also eliminate any possibility for jaw surgery later in life. A few\nof the ways Phase I can be beneficial to your child include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Making room for permanent teeth to erupt <\/li><li>Reduces the chances of needing one or multiple\nteeth extracted one day<\/li><li>Straightens teeth into their correct positions<\/li><li>Improves the smile\u2019s aesthetic<\/li><li>Helps the jaw to reposition into proper\nalignment<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase II Orthodontics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child finishes Phase I and their orthodontist\nsuggests that they are still in need of braces, they will enter Phase II. This\ntype of treatment occurs once the permanent teeth have erupted, and it focuses\non moving the teeth into their proper place with the use of traditional braces.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will this type of treatment help to improve the\nlook of their smile, but it will also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Increase oral function<\/li><li>Improve their overall bite<\/li><li>Shift teeth into the correct place<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to wearing braces, your child might also have\nmany questions, and that is understandable. It\u2019s important to include them in\nthe conversation and allow them to ask the orthodontist questions as treatment\nprogresses. After all, everyone has the same goal, which is to ensure your\nchild has a smile that is healthy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author <\/strong><br>Dr. Frances Hamman is an experienced orthodontist in Ripon, WI, who earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Creighton University in 1991.
