Ortho Screenings
Detecting and Preventing Serious Jaw and Tooth Issues
Providing Manchester & Windsor CT With Thorough Ortho Screenings
Tooth and jaw issues can be resolved through orthodontics. As permanent teeth start to appear around age six, our doctors will monitor the process and help you decide if early orthodontic treatment is the right option for you. At Smile Center CT, we are proud to provide patients with the ortho screenings necessary to map out their dental future.
Who Needs Orthodontic Services?
Many orthodontic wearers are teenagers, but braces may play a role for some children in their earlier years. Since permanent teeth are typically larger than baby teeth, space may need to be opened with the gentle force of braces or a device called a palatal expander. This allows adult teeth to move into place correctly and helps avoid more extensive treatment later.
The Orthodontic Process
Orthodontic treatment can solve many bite issues, but success relies on good patient compliance. Wearing elastic bands consistently, keeping follow-up appointments for adjustments, and practicing outstanding home care can lead to a positive outcome. This commitment involves frequent preventive visits with your hygienist as well. This helps avoid permanent staining from weakened enamel and cavities around brackets.
