Evaluation by an orthodontist for every seven year old is advised. Here is where the functioning of the child can be affected if this is ignored. This treatment not only supports the improvisation of the time being state of the teeth, it also helps in better popping out of teeth and the growth of the jaws.

A female orthodontist who is apparently certified by the board, states that she has obtained some impressive results with her treatment of children. In her treatment routine, she employs only the best of techniques and tools. To begin with, a complete orthodontic examination is conducted to ascertain the child's need for treatment. In case there happen to be any dental and/or development problem, treatment is strongly advised.

Use of braces and some gadgets like expanders are a part of the treatment. The objectives of the treatment are planned to be achieved by her in about a year. The patient is given retainers and the devices used are removed once the treatment is over. In the coming years the patient visits to get a check done on the retainers so as to evaluate if any further treatment will be needed.

For this, several guidelines can be really helpful. There has to be made available sufficient space for the normal eruption of permanent teeth. Precaution needs to be taken to prevent the occurrence of a bad bite in a healthy mouth. To make the jaws grow in a desirable direction, guidance should be provided. It strives to minimize the trauma risk for the beyond extended teeth.

Bad oral habits which can be harmful, like thumb sucking should be worked on. Work is done to make the lips meet in a better way. In line with thumb sucking, this can lead to tooth gaps and an open bite. Thumb sucking can be stopped in a 7 years old child by placing appliance in the mouth which will also solve the problems arising from this bad oral habit. After all these steps one can expect improved growth of the rest of the permanent teeth.

The problem of under bite in patients makes them face blemishing of upper and lower teeth. The other problems which can happen include issues related to speech and crowding affecting the normal eruption of permanent teeth. The use of braces at the age of 8 can help in ending crowding by eliminating the cross bite of the front teeth and giving room in the upper jaw for the eruption of front teeth. Ultimately the patient has a brilliant smile with n problems of speech or cross bite.

The upper teeth can be bucked out in some people if their upper and lower jaws grow at a different time. The lower jaw is left behind because of its slower rate of development. Proper molding of jaws can be done at the age of 7. Deep bites in such patients often cause involuntary bites in the roves of their mouths leading to continual.

Presence of a bucked teeth can have a negative effect on a person's self esteem because of a flawed smile. The lower jaw is then moved forward to align with the upper jaw by the use of braces and other things. Patient gets the gift of a beautiful smile by the treatment of the overbite, also lending him powered self esteem. As the treatment finishes, the patient has a well aligned mouth structure with the proper development of the future permanent teeth.
