DENTAL HINTS Brought to the Community by Spurgeon W. Webber D.D.S. Special to the Pqst Dr. Webber Oijhondontic Care A frequently asked question by parents is, "When is the best time to start planning for orthodontic care for our child?" Early visits to the dentist will help establish whether there are indications that a need is developing and, if so, the earlier the work is started the better the chances for intercepting some of the problems thereby making the treatment easier to accomplish. Of course, the psychological drawback is that the child must wear braces, and this is often sufficient cause to have the whole matter put off far beyond the ideal time to begin treatment. But, as in all other areas of dentistry, there have been many technique advances, and now there are orthodontic braces that can be removed by the patient. mu; * nus new ιγμκ υι urace can œ laxen out to clean, to allow for better brushing and flossing of the teeth and, in many cases, when the individual condition allows it, the removables can be taken out to eat, for contact sports and other special activities. The advantages of being able to remove the appliances are numerous, aside from the obvious fact that eating is much more enjoyable. But the really big plus is that removable braces aren't nearly as noticeable. For several years removable braces have been in use in Europe with very acceptable results, and now this type of appliance is gaining in popular use among orthodontists, pedodontists and general dentists here in the U.S. Most agree that the sooner the work &gins the better will be the results. Beginning orthodontic treatment between the ages of 6 and 12 - with the added advantages offered by removable braces - in many cases provides the dentist with the opportunity to intercept some of the problems developing in the child's mouth, as this is the time when many primary (baby) teeth are being replaced by permanents. Since orthodontic ap pliances correct misaligned teeth and bite problems, among other things, braces that help to guide the growth of the jaws will, in many cases, make room for the incoming permanent teeth, thus allowing less ^ crowding. This helps head off the reasons for teeth becoming crooked. The older the child becomes the more difficult becomes the developing problem of alignment and bite, if treatment is delayed. The should-be-obvious best answer is, see your dentist for complete analysis of potential problems early.
