Early Orthodontic Treatment in Vista CA

Early orthodontic treatment, also known as Phase 1 treatment, is often recommended for children who are about seven years of age. At our practice, we are committed to offering excellent and top class early orthodontic treatment and other dental procedures for kids. We can help correct dental deformities, avoid bite irregularities, and improve your child’s smile. 

What Is Orthodontic Treatment 

Orthodontic treatment is used to correct and avoid bite irregularities. A few factors may add to such anomalies, including the early loss of baby teeth, detrimental oral habits, and even genetic factors. Some benefits of early treatment of orthodontics include:

  • Boosts self-confidence of your child 
  • Increases the tendency of proper jaw growth.
  • Increases the tendency of properly spaced adult teeth.
  • Reduces the risk of grinding your teeth
  • Reduces the risk of tooth decay.
  • Reduces the risk of sustained orthodontic treatments at a later time.
  • Reduces the risk of having speech problems.
  • Reduces the risk of gum, jawbone, and tooth injury in your child.

Procedure For Early Orthodontic Treatment

Our professional dentists start by attaching the bracket, which is held in place on the teeth using a particular dental glue. The wire is then run over the brackets, which might be shaped uniquely to ensure that the teeth are moving in the right direction. 

For dental patients who have bite problems, our dentist then attaches rubber bands to the braces to add more pressure on specific areas of the teeth. The braces administered during the orthodontic treatment require periodic adjustments, so we schedule appointments to apply constant pressure on the teeth in order for the treatment to work. These scheduled appointments are a crucial part of the process and cannot be avoided.
