Smile. Middle school is a sensitive time in a child’s life. They become independent while beginning to struggle with the issues of popularity, bullying, and their own bodies changing. By 13 years old, most kids have lost all of their baby teeth. While this is not a sensitive topic for them, how their adult teeth grow in may be.
Consequences of No Smiles
Kids who are embarrassed by their teeth do not smile often. While their circle of friends may not notice, other children and teachers at school may think that they are shy, conceited or maybe that they aren’t paying attention. Not smiling has physical effects as well. When people smile, their bodies release endorphins which help them feel happy and less stressed.
Help Your Child Smile
Parents talk to their children about what kinds of clothes and shoes they want to wear to help them feel more confident. It’s also especially important to talk to kids about how they feel about their teeth. Orthodontia is, of course, not just a cosmetic issue. But the cosmetic can definitely out-weigh the functional aspects of getting teeth corrected in a middle schooler’s mind.
Parents should ask their child how they feel about getting orthodontic treatment which could include braces, a retainer, etc. They may have avoided talking about it because they are apprehensive about wearing braces or because they thought seeing an orthodontist was too expensive.
No matter whether they express positive or negative feelings about their teeth, scheduling an initial orthodontic evaluation with an orthodontist is best for the child. Type and length of treatment, as well as cost and financing options, can be discussed at this first visit. It may help them to feel more at ease and be reassured that they can have a beautiful smile.
If you are interested in an orthodontist visit for your child or yourself, please consider contacting King Orthodontics, for the smile of your life.

One Smile Can’t Change the World, but Your Smile Changes Mine
Few things enhance a person’s face more than a great smile. One way to achieve a great smile is with teeth that are shiny and straight. Not everyone has naturally perfect teeth, but an orthodontist can help almost anyone reach that goal. Giving its patients straight teeth is the goal of King Orthodontics.
The Problem of Misaligned Teeth
In addition to affecting one’s appearance, teeth that are crooked or improperly spaced can hamper the chewing process. Misaligned teeth can also be difficult to clean and are more susceptible to cavities and disease. An orthodontist is a dental specialist who is specifically concerned with straightening teeth. This can be accomplished with braces, devices that when worn will straighten misaligned teeth and close unsightly gaps between them. The following types of braces are available from King Orthodontics:
Traditional metal
Clear
Self-ligating (without ties)
The Magic of Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign aligners offer promise to many patients by the way they straighten teeth in a comfortable and inconspicuous manner. Using the latest technology, these devices “predict” the way in which a person’s teeth need to be straightened and carry out the task. They are worn in stages, which each set being replaced about every two weeks. By exerting a small amount of pressure, the aligners will slowly move the teeth into the desired position. These devices are also unique in the way they can be removed for cleaning or when eating. Additionally, they are virtually invisible to the outside.

Although using braces improves your oral health, appearance, and comfort, they can also cause temporary mouth ulcers at some point in time. Mouth ulcers appear on the lips or inner cheeks as a result of constant friction between the affected parts of your mouth and metal brackets. Fortunately, there are various ways to resolve this particular issue. Below is a comprehensive look at what you should do if you happen to get mouth ulcers during treatment. Included is how to stop the pain, prevent the development of mouth ulcers, and avoid infection.

Going through orthodontic treatment is an exciting process. Patients understand that at the end of the process, their teeth will be even, straight, and more functional, and they will likely have an enhanced appearance as a result. Some orthodontics patients feel that there is no need to visit a dentist during treatment

What is the best age for your child to get orthodontic braces?
Choosing the best time for your child to get an orthodontic consultation or when it is the right time for them to receive orthodontic treatment is always a difficult question.
It is important to get children in fairly early for an orthodontic consultation as depending on their condition they may require a two-stage treatment which can take place over several years rather than just the 12 to 30 months that braces may require.

Taking care of orthodontic treatment before a child enters their young adult phase is also great for helping to boost a child’s confidence. Probably the best answer for picking the best age really depends on your child’s teeth. When your child’s peers are beginning to lose their primary teeth or when your child has lost quite a few primary teeth it may be a good idea for you to start thinking about going in for an orthodontic consultation.
An orthodontic consultation will be able to determine if your child’s permanent teeth are formed correctly and if their smile will need any type of corrections. The great news about bringing a child in for orthodontic treatment is that their jaw has not fully formed and it is still extremely easy to treat.
Adults can receive orthodontic treatment but more difficult conditions may require options such as oral surgery as much of the patient’s jaw and permanent teeth have fully formed and set in place. A child’s teeth and jaws can still be very easily manipulated and this will reduce their treatment time exponentially over them receiving treatment as an adult.
Most children will require a simple treatment of braces which usually requires anywhere from 12 to 30 months of treatment. Of course there are a plenty of other treatment options available to children as well such as Invisalign, Six Month Smiles and more.
In most cases patients will not actually begin their treatment until their 12 year molars have at least partially erupted and until most of their primary teeth have fallen out. This is because braces generally need to be affixed to permanent teeth and permanent teeth need to be in a patient’s mouth so that predictable results can be achieved.
If you have any more questions about finding the best age for your child to get orthodontic braces, or about receiving a free consultation for braces for your child, please call King Orthodontics in Centerville or Fairborn.
