Orthodontics for children and teens in Tijuana

Orthodontic treatments for children and teens in Tijuana. Orthodontic treatments in children and teens that are growing can produce results that will be difficult to achieve once face and maxillars cease growth.

Based in research from the American Association of Orthodontics, the ideal age for first consultation of a person with the orthodontist is at the age of seven years. At this age the first permanent molars and incisives have shown, and we can identify orthodontic conditions like misalignment, crossed bite or crowded teeth.

When treatment starts at a young age, the orhtodontist can guide the growth of the maxillars and permanent teeth, he can also regulate the width of dental arches, make space for permanent teeth, reduce the necessity of extractions of permanent teeth, reduce the possibility of retained permanent teeth, correct oral habits like finger suction, food disorders, and speech problems. Early treatment can prevent or simplify posterior intervention.
