Correction while growing up

It's not about immediate problems, it's about anticipating possible tooth problems and treating them before they happen. Growing children have lighter bone tissue and faster dental movement than adults, which can reduce their treatment period and treatment costs, and results are much more efficient. A typical tooth problem, such as a lantern jaw, short chin, protruded lips, and facial asymmetry, is used to predict the problem using growing conditions, and to have the correct alignment of teeth as they grow up.

Why should have tooth correction
while growing up?

It is called the golden time of correction. That makes it easier, faster, and more effective to solve tooth problems. It leads to balanced growth of the jaw and teeth, and the need to perform surgery to heal after growth can be also predicted in advance to prevent problems and ensure harmonious growth.

  • 01 Fast and Reliable Result

    Gum tissue is highly adaptable, less likely to recur, and reduces the chances of losing teeth or having to perform surgery as they become adult.

  • 02 Best effect

    The growth of facial bone as well as tooth movement can be combined to solve bone dissonance.

  • 03 Prevent tooth damage and cavities

    It improves the ability to chew food and prevents tooth damage and cavities.

  • 04 Psychological stability, amicable interpersonal relations

    Adolescence is a sensitive time,
    so it helps to stabilize the mind by solving inferiority complex
    about appearance.

Cases that may require orthodontic treatment
during the pubertal stage
If any of the parents have a lantern jaw

Because the jawbone has a strong genetic cause, if the parent has a lantern jaw, protruded lips, or malocclusion, there is an 80 percent chance that the child will be inherited.

In case of tooth defect or adhesion

If there is a tooth defect or adhesion, the arrangement of teeth and facial bones will grow abnormally when having the permanent teeth. Framing and muscular dissonance can lead to facial development failure.

In case of having ENT disease

If your child has ENT disease, such as sinus infection or swollen tonsils, the breathing of your mouth narrows space in your upper teeth, which can lead to an increasingly prolonged chin and malocclusion.

Golden time for tooth correction while growing up!
Lantern jaw

The appropriate timing of tooth correction treatment to improve the lantern jaw is vary in children depends on the characteristics of the child or the rate of growth, but "5 years old" is the best.
If there is an underbite in the deciduous dentition (between 7 and 8 years old), the lower jaw growth is noticeable, so if you start to grow by 7 years of age, you should treat it early because it is more likely to grow into the lantern jaw.

Protruded lips

Appropriate tooth correction treatment periods for improving protrusions in children are recommended for girls in 4th grade and boys in 5th or 6th grade in elementary school.
The best time to prevent protruded lips is when the the child loses a baby tooth, or when all the baby teeth are missing and be permanent teeth, the fastest time for having tooth correction treatment. In girls, all exchanges are possible starting in fourth grade and in boys, it is usually recommended to proceed in fifth grade or sixth grade because it is about two years later than girls.
