If you observe any of the following characteristics in yourself or your children, come in for consultations with Dr. Forsberg as soon as you can:
- Chewing Difficulty
- Thumb-Sucking
- Crowded, Protruding, or Gapped Teeth
- Speaking Difficulty
- Teeth Grinding/Clenching
- Inability to Close Lips Comfortably
Timing of Treatment is Important
When evaluation is done early enough, treatments that require growth modification can be undertaken at the correct time to take advantage of growth. Orthopedic treatments are often done before all the baby teeth have fallen out. Traditional braces are usually done when all baby teeth have fallen out between ages 9-15.
Never Too Late to Wear Braces
Adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment. Excellent results can be achieved in adult patients. Correcting malocclusions in adults can enhance the health of teeth and gums. Orthodontic treatment can dramatically improve self-esteem, personal appearance, and confidence to communicate.
