Signs Your Teen May Need Orthodontic Care
Recognizing the early signs that your teen may need orthodontic treatment is crucial for their dental health and overall confidence. At Excelsior Orthodontics, we are committed to helping you identify these signs so that your child can achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
Crooked or Crowded Teeth
If your teen's teeth appear misaligned or are overlapping, this can lead to difficulties in cleaning and increased risk of cavities. Braces can help straighten these teeth for a healthier smile.
Overbite
An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth protrude excessively over the lower teeth. This can affect chewing and speech, making it essential to address with orthodontic care.
Underbite
An underbite is when the lower teeth extend past the upper teeth. This misalignment can lead to jaw discomfort and should be evaluated by an orthodontist.
Crossbite
A crossbite happens when the upper and lower teeth do not align properly, which can cause wear on the teeth and jaw issues. Early intervention can prevent further complications.
Open Bite
An open bite is characterized by the front teeth not touching when the mouth is closed. This can affect biting and chewing, making braces a beneficial option.
Gaps Between Teeth
Spacing issues, such as gaps between teeth, can lead to misalignment and affect your teen's smile. Braces can help close these gaps and create a more uniform appearance.
