Dental malocclusion

Early assessment allows for both, an early detection of problems and a better effective treatment. A careful intervention guides growth and development, preventing serious problems later on. Orthodontic intervention is not necessary, an orthodontist can carefully monitor growth and development and to begin treatment at the ideal time.

The ideal would be to do it in relation with a pediatrician for a very simple reason : to increase the harmonious growth of the upper jaw which guides the growth of the lower jaw. This harmonious growth will influence the way the child will breathe, so you will not have a child who will breathe through the mouth having a sleep that will not be recuperative. For example, children who are surrounded at school and who do not recuperate well, therefore who are not concentrated at school and who have school failures often come from a difficult sleep in relation to a difficult occlusion.

According to Swiss studies, untreated malocclusions can lead to various problems:

• Crowded teeth are more difficult to brush and floss properly, which can contribute to tooth decay and/or gum disease.
• Protruding teeth are more likely to fracture accidentally.
• Cross-bites can lead to unfavorable growth and uneven wear of teeth.
• Open bites can lead to tongue thrusting habits and speech problems.

Some of the most direct results of interceptive (early) treatment are:

1. Create space for erupting and crowded teeth.
2. Create facial symmetry by influencing jaw growth
3. Reduce the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth
4. Preserve space for unerupted teeth
5. Reduce the need to remove teeth
6. Reduce treatment time with braces

Orthodontic treatment late in life can significantly improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. It is equally important to improve the health of your teeth and gums. Crooked teeth and a poor bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, tooth decay, abnormal wear of enamel and tooth surfaces, headaches and jaw joint pain.
