Four Orthodontic Problems Best Corrected Early

Posted by Michael S. Stosich, DMD, MS, MS

GRAYSLAKE, ILLINOIS – As a parent, you want what’s best for your child. That includes a healthy and beautiful smile.
Dr. Michael Stosich says there are four orthodontic problems that are most easily corrected at a young age, making it easier (and sometimes cheaper) for you to give your child that confident, healthy smile:

Protruding teeth
Crossbites
Poorly developed jaws
Severe crowding

Early orthodontic care can reduce or even eliminate the need for surgery in the future in some cases, such as underbite correction.

Importance Of Early Intervention

KENILWORTH AND GRAYSLAKE, ILLINOIS – Getting your child to a children’s orthodontist early may benefit them in the long run.
Intervening at an early age can provide a timely detection of problems such as an underbite or overbite. Fixing an underbite early can prevent surgery later. Once the patient finishes growing, the protruding lower jaw cannot be pushed back without a surgical route.
