How would I know if my child needed braces?
Large spaces or gaps between teeth, teeth that are crowded and twisted, or teeth that protrude or stick out are the most common indicators that a person might need orthodontic treatment. Other early warning signs may include difficulty in chewing, a developing underbite or overbite, open-mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, a thumb or finger sucking habit, or jaws that tend to click or pop. Many times, however, the need for braces is not exactly obvious. A personal consultation with an orthodontist can answer any of the specific questions you may have.
