Furthermore, children develop habits which can be detrimental to the structural development of the facial bones, and early interventions can often be very helpful in directing proper tooth development. For example, thumb sucking, finger suckling, lip-or cheek sucking, mouth breathing or tongue thrusting all disturb the natural physiological development of the facial and jaw bones. This may lead to improper placement of permanent teeth as well as delays in speech development.<br \/>\nAdditionally, there are a variety of structural problems for which early orthodontic intervention can help with long-term development.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lower jaw recession: Some children are more prone to recession of the lower jaw, which is when the front teeth of the upper and lower jaws have a significant distance between them. This phenomenon is often accompanied by protruded front teeth in the upper jaw, which increases the risk of trauma to those teeth. Through orthodontic treatments, we are able to guide the growth of the lower jaw, thereby aligning the front teeth with the upper jaw and reducing the risk of trauma to the front teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Underdevelopment of the upper jaw and\/or overdevelopment of the lower jaw:<br \/>\nIn severe cases the lower teeth grow in front of the upper teeth due to differing developmental timelines of the upper and lower jaws. Seeing an orthodontist for early intervention and monitoring correct this problem and ensures appropriate physiologic development of the upper and lower jaws.<\/li>\n<li>Crossbite: This is a type of oral misalignment which occurs when the posterior teeth of the upper jaw are positioned to the inside of the posterior teeth of the lower jaw. Early orthodontic treatments can help correct this malalignment.<\/li>\n<li>Crowding of teeth in the upper or lower jaw: This problem has various causes and occurs when there is inadequate space for the eruption of teeth in the upper or lower jaw. The consequences are that permanent teeth (\u201cadult teeth\u201d) cannot erupt in the appropriate region of the jaw or the permanent tooth is not able to erupt at all due to lack of space. Early intervention for this problem is crucial; otherwise, the crowding becomes more difficult to correct as the jaw develops.<\/li>\n<li>Congenitally missing teeth: At times, a child may not develop the appropriate number of teeth. For example, the \u201cmilk tooth\u201d may be present, but the permanent tooth (\u201cadult tooth\u201d) that normally replaces it may not develop. This results in a gap being present between the teeth. We will evaluate your child\u2019s teeth and jaws to determine the most appropriate form of treatment: for example, space closure or prosthetic replacements, should treatment be warranted.<\/li>\n<li>Disturbance of eruption of the teeth (\u201cimpacted or unerupted teeth\u201d): There are times when teeth cannot appropriately erupt into the mouth cavity due to the tooth being positioned in the wrong direction, the tooth being in the incorrect location, or due to the tooth not having room to erupt. To correct this problem, we would evaluate your child\u2019s teeth and jaws to formulate an individual treatment plan.<\/li>\n<li>The front teeth and the posterior teeth have no contact at all (\u201copen bite\u201d): This is a type of misalignment that results from problems with the teeth and\/or malalignment of the jaws. We will work with you and your child to identify an appropriate treatment plan (which includes ways to decrease the `habits\u2019, mentioned above, that may worsen misalignment).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American Association of Orthodontics recommends all children to have a dental evaluation no later than at the age of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1981,"parent":0,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/naviitem.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1719","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["de","en","ko"],"languages":{"de":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"ko":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bae2.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bae2.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bae2.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bae2.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bae2.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bae2.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bae2.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bae2.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
