Las Vegas Orthodontics Expert Offers Early Childhood Screenings

    LAS VEGAS, NV, October 21, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Orthodontics can enhance your smile at no matter what age you are; however, starting treatment at the most favorable time guarantees the best results and the briefest treatment period, observes Dr. David Alpan, a Las Vegas orthodontics provider. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children should have their initial orthodontic examination at the first indication of orthodontic issues. However, in any case it ought to be by age 7.

The first adult molars begin emerging at age seven and creating the back bite. At a first visit, the orthodontist will examine a child's front-to-back and side-to-side bites. Emerging incisors, for example, can indicate a potential overbite, open bite, crowding, or gummy smiles.

"Early examination permits timely discovery of potential trouble and improves odds of successful treatment," notes Las Vegas orthodontist Dr. David Alpan. "If you can intercede at the right moment, you can guide tooth growth and avoid serious problems later on."

Braces aren't only useful for aesthetic purposes. Poor bites shape the way you smile, chew, brush and feel about your appearance. Fixing a poor bite is crucial to preserving your future oral health.

"Younger children may not be ready for orthodontics," explains Dr. David Alpan, a Las Vegas Invisalign provider. "In that case we monitor the child's development closely with periodic exams. Then we can identify the best time for treatment."
