What Age Should My Kid Get BRACES and Avoid TOOTH EXTRACTIONS!

Описание: Dr. O answers this common question about dental braces and when parents should get them for their kids helping to avoid the need for unnecessary extractions or tooth removal while delivering a more beautiful result in less time. Many times kids don’t start braces until they are 13 or 14 years of age which in many instances leads to a recommendation of teeth extractions or removal of premolars. As the child ages, their jaw continues to grow and since 4 teeth were extracted, the smile sinks in and lacks in fullness. As a general dentist that performs a lot cosmetic dentistry, I see this often.

Imagine instead that we are able to set the foundation for the teeth at a younger age, say as early as 6 years old, then we grown the arch jaw bone to adapt for the adult teeth come. Then when the child turns 12 or 13 and has all of their adult teeth present, now we can just move them into the already available space. This kind of approach to braces allows us to give a more natural, healthy, full, and beautiful smile all while keeping your child’s teeth.

At Innovative Dental of Springfield we perform braces in 2 stages ideally. Stage One is designed to set the foundation and the jaw bone to have enough space for the adult teeth using an appliance for the child as early as 6 years of age. Stage Two is the traditional braces attached to all of the adult teeth to move them into the ample bone that we created during stage one. This allows for a shorter period in braces along with a much improved cosmetic result with your child’s smile!
