Crossbite
When you look into your child's mouth are the
upper teeth on the inside of the lower teeth?
If you think of the upper jaw as the garage
and the lower jaw as the car⿦the garage
should be bigger than the car!
Habits
Does your child suck their finger or their
thumb? Do they breathe through their mouth
instead of their nose? Do they stick their
tongue between their teeth when they swallow?
Crowding
Are the permanent teeth starting to come in
crowded?
Headaches
Does your child complain frequently of
headaches? If your child grinds their teeth,
or has a deep bite, the muscles may be over
worked and can contribute to headaches in
children.
Earaches
Sometimes a bad bite or a deep bite can cause
undue pressure on the small membranes of the
ear, contributing to earaches.
These are all sign
that your child may need early intervention!
Functional
Appliances work with your child's growth and
development to guide the jaws to their proper
size.

assessment of your child, if you have noticed
