Orthodontic care plays a crucial role in ensuring children develop healthy smiles. At Buchart + Wachs Orthodontics, located in Lexington, we understand the importance of early intervention and offer expert guidance on common orthodontic issues in children. By identifying these problems early, we can help prevent more complicated treatments later on, making your child’s orthodontic journey smoother and more effective.

Some of the most common orthodontic issues that children face include:

• Malocclusion: This general term describes misalignment of the teeth and jaws, which can result in difficulty chewing or speaking.
• Overcrowding: With too many teeth for the available space, overcrowding can lead to increased risk of cavities and gum disease.
• Overbite and Underbite: These bite discrepancies occur when the upper and lower jaws are not aligned properly, potentially causing discomfort and further dental complications.
• Open Bite: An open bite can occur when front teeth do not close or touch when the mouth is closed, which may affect biting and speech.

Identifying these issues early allows for timely interventions, which can lead to better outcomes. Our experienced orthodontists are trained to recognize these concerns during routine assessments, often recommended around age seven. This proactive approach ensures that any necessary treatment, whether involving Invisalign or braces, is initiated when it is most effective.
