Dear Farid,
Early interceptive orthodontic treatment usually starts
before the eruption of the permanent teeth or when the child
has very few permanent teeth present. Our goal is to guide
the growth of the upper and/or lower jaw to make adequate
space for the eruption of all the permanent teeth. We feel
that children should be evaluated by the age of four to see
if there is a bone problem (orthopedic) or a tooth problem
(orthodontic).

Do the upper teeth completely hide the lower teeth when
you bite down, or does your child bite on the roof of their
mouth? |

Do the upper front teeth seem to be more noticeable and

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! |
