  2. Dental problems are one of those problems which, if you don't treat in time, then it goes from worse to worst. There are many dental diseases or conditions which, if treated early, could make prevent bigger worries. Since in childhood, all the structure of a kid is just starting to take shape, that's why, if there is any misalignment, it is much easier to treat in childhood than in adult ages. Similarly, orthodontic treatment is also much more effective in childhood than at adult times.

  3. There are various conditions which can happen to a kid which needs orthodontist attention. For example, an orthodontist could give a prognosis about how the permanent teeth will develop. At times, due to the non alignment of the teeth while coming out, later creates space issue for new teeth and this condition can lead to a very painful situation where you have to bear the pain or you have to take the old tooth. In both the cases, it would not have happened had, there was a consultation with the orthodontist about how the teeth are shaping up.

  4. An orthodontist also can guide the growth of jaw to accommodate the future teeth or for the teeth that are about to come out. As it has been said above, if there is a situation where overlapping of teeth may occur, it leads to a very painful condition. One way to rectify is to; keep a check on the growth of the jaw. If there is any misalignment, treatment could be done at the early stage of development so that when the maturity occurs, the Jaws are in perfect shape and can indeed accommodate all the teeth without creating any further troubles.

  5. Excluding that, one common problem that most kids face is protruding front teeth. If there is too much misalignment, then the teeth may break or may cause injury to other surrounding areas. It needs to be treated as early as possible to avoid any structural damage along with for aesthetic beauty. Such problems could be easily rectified by orthodontic treatment if they are treated at childhood. As in adulthood, the teeth get matures and mature teeth are hard to bring it under alignment than the same teeth which are just coming out.

  6. Thus, the orthodontist can prevent many orthodontic conditions if they are addressed at the right time before they become harder to treat. Some treatments are just one phase treatment whereas some other requires two steps. But all in all, going to an orthodontist in childhood could prevent many dental problems later in life.
