Prevention Now…or Braces Later
Preventive Dentistry Bellevue WA
Many of us remember the embarrassment and discomfort of wearing
braces as a child. In some cases, this is necessary in order to
correct serious malocclusions (or bite disorders). However, in many
instances, early treatment by a qualified and knowledgeable dentist
can minimize the extent of orthodontics or very possibly eliminate
the need altogether!
Younger children have the advantage of growth on their side, and
their teeth and bones are more pliable than those of adults.
Realizing a child has a malocclusion at an early age can be very
beneficial to how the permanent teeth come together. The earlier the
detection, the more planning and prevention we can offer to your
child.
Using the latest in modern techniques, the staff at Smiles of
Bellevue can now make braces more comfortable and attractive than
ever. It used to be that a child or adult might spend 3 - 5 years in
treatment. It’s not that way any more! The time needed for treatment
will vary from person to person but usually can be completed in 6 -
24 months or less.
