Infant Orthodontics: Three Stages of Attention

The baby's orthodontics is a long-term process, which requires the joint efforts of parents and doctors. Different stages need to pay attention to different issues. Here are the precautions in deciduous teeth, tooth replacement and permanent teeth.

Primary tooth stage

The baby is 4-5 years old. During this period, attention should be paid to the malocclusion of primary teeth. Early correction is very important for the baby's maxillary development and can also prevent the malocclusion of permanent teeth. If the baby has a small habit of sticking out his tongue and biting his lips, it is time to correct it and lay a good foundation for his oral health.

Dentition replacement stage

The little girl is 8- 10 years old and the little boy is 9- 12 years old. Do you think the baby's teeth have changed greatly? If you find that your child has the habit of biting his lips, sticking out his tongue and stretching his chin forward, or that his face and teeth are in abnormal arrangement, remember to take him to see an orthodontist in time. Determine the type of malocclusion and formulate the best treatment plan to make the baby's smile more brilliant!

Permanent tooth stage

Girls 1 1- 14 years old, boys 13- 15 years old. At this stage, the baby's teeth have grown up and the bones are basically shaped. If there is malocclusion, the treatment effect at this stage is the best. But remember, after orthodontics, oral hygiene is super important, which can prevent infection and make your baby's smile shine for a long time!
