For an early orthodontic treatment

For an orthodontic treatment is as effective and as short as possible, it is important to intervene at the right time, neither too early nor too late. Back in the Days of orthodontics in 2000 have made the point on this subject.

Whether by necessity or by desire for perfection, it is difficult for a young person today to escape the bushes or dental appliances. According to French Union for Oral Health (UFSBD), 60% of children should have an orthodontic treatment between 9 and 12 years.

When requesting an opinion and begin treatment?

These issues this year were the focus of days of orthodontics. First imperative: orthodontic treatment are not reimbursed by social security if the demand for care was made after 12 years. A visit is required before that age, she will make an assessment. Once accepted care, which is always the case, treatment may be deferred until age 16.

Dents Rabbit: Rabbit teeth emergency: Emergency

Between 7 and 11 years, teeth definitive coexist with teeth. It is often at this time that parents come visit because anomalies become apparent. It may be protruding upper incisors forward (rabbit teeth), often related to thumb sucking. Even if this distortion is often correct itself, it is preferable to deal quickly with a slight departure because the child may break the incisors by falling or by bumping. At the age of 12 years, one third of children with the incisive forward reportedly fractured. .

The ideal age to identify and treat malpositions maxillo-facial (lower jaw forward or backwards from the upper jaw) appears to be 8-9 years. The aircraft in resin, usually at night, along with helmets performing traction external help accelerate the growth of maxillary down and curb the contrary, the prominent jaw. A 12-year, it is often too late for these treatments, because the growth of bones of the deal is completed.

Attention to small mouths

Many children have a jaw too small compared to the size of their teeth.  If nothing is done, your teeth will overlap or are too tight, making dental hygiene difficult, they are likely to shoes to 50 years. This kind of disharmony is predictable if the child had no space between the teeth or the thrust of the first molar was hampered by the teeth.
To obtain a proper alignment of the teeth, it is necessary to extract some teeth definitive, but around 11 or 12 years. It is also at this age, when the gear is set up, we can correct abnormal position of teeth by devices or "rings", pasted on the teeth.

Finally, we must know that it is never too late to achieve orthodontic treatment, even if this process is necessarily longer in adults. In this case, it usually glue on the teeth of small fasteners transparent, more discreet than metal fasteners. But, regardless of age, before embarking on painful and costly care, we must not hesitate in doubt, to seek a second opinion.
