Why treat crooked teeth?

In a ideal situation, our teeth would bite down in a very specific way to optimize function and oral health. Unfortunately, our teeth are almost never naturally perfect. This causes problems with chewing, oral hygiene, speaking and aesthetics and if not corrected can affect a person’s self-esteem and self-confidence for a lifetime. The earlier orthodontic problems are corrected, the better the chance we have at giving you or your child a broad, beautiful smile.

Malocclusion, or ‘bad bite’, is often times a genetic problem. A bad bite can also be caused by thumb or finger-sucking, mouth breathing, dental disease, abnormal swallowing, poor dental hygiene, the early or late loss of baby teeth, accidents or poor nutrition. Trauma and other medical conditions such as birth defects may contribute to orthodontic problems as well.

Children’s Orthodontics

Although patients of any age can benefit from orthodontic braces, they tend to work much quicker on pre-teens and teenagers since they are still experiencing jaw growth. The Canadian Association of Orthodontists (CAO) recommends that all children should undergo an orthodontic evaluation around the age of seven. An orthodontic examination may be beneficial before age seven if facial or oral irregularities are noted.
