Help Your Child Succeed in Orthodontics

Greenview Ortho

We all want our children to have bright attractive smiles. Ensuring they have a healthy smile will set them up for future health and success. Fixing crooked and misaligned bites is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. Once you’ve made the decision to place them in orthodontics your Rochester, MN, dentist is here ensure their health during treatment.

Why Does My Child Need Orthodontic Treatment?

Even when teeth appear straight and attractive, it is important to have your child’s bite checked. Problems like overbites, underbites, and crossbites, can create big problems in the mouth. Issues with the Jaw and premature wear of the enamel often occur when the bite is misaligned. If they have an open bite, speech issues, decay, dry mouth and even bad breath may occur. Getting your child’s occlusion right is pertinent to their long-term oral health. Not to mention, straightening teeth can enhance a child’s self-esteem by giving them a beautiful confident smile.

Setting Your Child Up for Success

Preparing your child for orthodontic treatment is essential to help them feel more comfortable and informed about the process. An open and honest conversation with your child, explaining why they need orthodontic treatment and what to expect is a must. Educate your child about the various steps involved in orthodontic treatment, whether they will be entering Clear Aligner Systems or traditional braces.

Importance of Dental Check-Ups

Good oral hygiene is crucial during treatment. At each dental check-up we teach them how to care for their braces properly. We also make product recommendations based on their unique situation. Often prescription fluorides or xylitol products are recommended during orthodontic treatment. The wires, brackets, and other components of the braces can trap food particles and plaque, increasing the risk of cavities and gum problems. More frequent cleanings by a dental hygienist can help remove the built-up plaque and tartar, reducing the chances of developing tooth decay or gum disease. Three-month dental cleanings are common for those under-going orthodontic treatment to prevent more severe bleeding and inflammation of the gums.
