5-Star-Rated Hamilton & Liberty Township, OH, Orthodontist for Children’s Orthodontics

Does Your Child Need Early Orthodontic Treatment?

Dr. Manilla, our Hamilton & Liberty Township, OH, orthodontist is not only an expert in the latest advances in the orthodontic field, but he also has an extensive background and training as a pediatric dentist. He understands the countless benefits that come with a child’s orthodontic evaluation in the earlier stages of life. That’s why he follows the recommendation of the American Association of Orthodontists, which urges all parents to bring their children to be evaluated by a trained orthodontic specialist by age 7.

Keep in mind that early evaluation is not the same thing as early treatment! Dr. Manilla takes the opportunity to examine your child’s bite and jaw alignment, which allows him to see if there is any preventative treatment that could reduce the severity or expense of treatment after all the adult teeth have erupted. Most parents who bring their child in for an early evaluation leave the office again happy to know that orthodontic treatment can wait – or won’t be needed at all.

Ultimately, only a trained orthodontic specialist can tell for sure if your child would benefit from early treatment, since many potential problems may not be visibly apparent until prevention is too late.

Your Child May Benefit from Early Intervention Treatment

We strongly recommend that you bring your child in for an evaluation with our Hamilton & Liberty Township, OH, orthodontist and pediatric specialist, if you notice the following signs in your child:

• Difficult chewing and/or biting
• Tongue thrusting
• Mouth breathing
• Speech impediments
• Protruding teeth
• Unevenly spaced teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Thumb-sucking or finger-sucking past age 3
• Underbites or crossbites

How Will My Child Benefit From Early Orthodontic Treatment?

Dr. Manilla may suggest the use of orthopedic functional appliances for your child. In the case of any speech delays or poor speech issues, he also works with a local speech pathologist to evaluate your child’s mouth development. If he recommends preventative orthodontics, early treatment can bring about numerous benefits for your child, such as:

• Reduce or eliminate the need for braces later
• Eliminate the need for adult tooth extractions
• Reduce or eliminate the need for jaw surgery
• Improve overall facial development
