If you feel that you or your child are unhappy with how their teeth look or function your first port of call is your dentist. If you don’t have a dentist we would recommend registering with one locally so you are able to attend for regular examinations. Your dentist will then be able to discuss your concerns and identify whether it is an issue that can be corrected by an orthodontist or not.
Crooked teeth can cause many problems, so getting them fixed will be beneficial. Your teeth, gums and jaw muscles can start to wear. Your teeth may become cracked and you may feel some strain to your jaw. Depending on the severity of your case, you may experience some minor speech problems because your teeth can affect the way you sound.
Children can have Invisalign. In fact, there are specially designed Invisalign appliances, such as Invisalign Teen. As long as children are at the correct level of dental maturity Invisalign can be used as an alternative to fixed braces.
