5-Star-Rated Children’s Orthodontist in Omaha, NE, for Early Orthodontic Treatment

Your Child’s Health & Comfort Are Our Priority at Omaha Orthodontics

Surprisingly, the recommended age to bring your child to a children’s orthodontist in Omaha, NE, is around age 7! Don’t worry, we don’t intend to put braces on your 7 year old. One of the many benefits of bringing your child in at this age is that our Omaha orthodontist will be able to make an assessment and monitor growth. If there are options for early prevention, your child may not need braces in the future!

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR…

Your child may benefit from early prevention if certain cases are assessed early on. Read the list below to see if your child may be exhibiting signs of certain cases that should be looked at by our children’s orthodontist in Omaha, NE, right away:

• Early or late loss of baby teeth (your child should typically start losing teeth around age five, and will have all their permanent teeth in around age 13)
• Difficulty chewing and/or biting
• Mouth breathing
• Your child continues sucking their thumb after age five
• Speech impediments
• Protruding teeth (the top teeth and the bottom teeth extend away from each other)
• Teeth that don’t come together in a normal manner or even at all
• Shifting of the jaw when your child opens or closes their mouth (crossbites)
• Crowded front teeth around age seven or eight

EARLY PREVENTION BENEFITS

Aside from possibly being able to avoid braces, early prevention has other benefits as well:

• Reduce the need for extractions
• Your child will develop a trust for the orthodontist early on
• Reduce the need for surgeries
• Overall improved dental health
• Reduce the length of treatment if braces are necessary
