This child presented with a severe underbite that completely covered their upper teeth, making effective chewing difficult.
Early orthodontic expansion widened the upper jaw during a time of growth, which allowed it to take its correct position over the lower teeth.
When Do We Recommend Early Orthodontic Intervention?
Our pediatric dentists in Spring Branch recommend early orthodontic treatment for kids with severe bite concerns or tooth crowding or spacing that could become problematic in the future.
Using their growth patterns to move jaws into correct alignment and better tooth positioning can help build self-confidence, make chewing more comfortable, and set your child up for future orthodontic success in aligning their teeth when they're 12 to 14 years old.
