Is it required that my family dentist schedule my appointment with the orthodontist?
No, it is not.
Many of our patients are referred by their family dentist, yet many other patients take the initiative to schedule an examination themselves.
2. At what age should I schedule an appointment for an orthodontic screening?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7. By this age, several permanent teeth in most children have erupted, allowing us to effectively evaluate your orthodontic condition.

Easy to say but sometimes hard to do?
When you're away from home, we suggest you carry a travel type of folding toothbrush with you.
First, brush back and forth across.between the wires and gums on the upper and lower to loosen the food particles.
Rinse your mouth and toothbrush.
Look in a mirror to see if you have missed any places.
Check the little half-moon spaces of teeth between the bands and gums and the space between the molar tubes and gums.
When you finish, the bands and wires should be free of all food particles and the soft white coating (called plaque).

The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by this type of bite.
It is characterized by the upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough forward.
The upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
The upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which may cause tooth attrition and misaligned jaw growth.
This may also affect the gum tissue.
Proper chewing is impacted by this type of bite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not overlap.
