Have you observed more young kids with braces on these days? Why so young? Don’t they still have baby teeth?
When should I take my child to see the orthodontist for the first time?

To create a smile that remains a lifetime, your child needs teeth that are straight and jaws that are aligned perfectly.

of permanent adult teeth. That’s why it’s a good idea to have an orthodontist examine your child while they still have their baby teeth.

Some of your child’s actions may give some indication that an orthodontic examination is in order, too. Discuss your concerns with your orthodontist, if your child:

• Loses baby teeth early or late
• Has difficulty chewing or biting
• Breaths through their mouth
• Sucks their thumb
• Has crowded, misplaced or blocked-out teeth
• Has a jaw that shifts or makes sounds
• Has difficulty speaking
• Bites their cheek or the roof of their mouth
• Has teeth that meet abnormally, or don’t meet at all
• Has a facial imbalance
• Grinds or clenches their teeth
• Have jaws that appear too far forward or too far back

Your child may or may not need orthodontic work. That will be determined by the examination. But no matter

 what, you will get the peace of mind that early observation and treatment will result in a lifelong smile for your child.

“Laugh and the world will laugh with you, cry and you cry alone”

So true is the above quote. Tried and tested multiple times, life doesn’t fail to prove the above. One cries in solitude but laughs in a crowd. That’s how life is! Now if we really go literal on the above quote we will find out that there are many people who avoid to smile fully, avoid laughter at all costs or just simply hide their smiles with their hand or other gestures. Why is that so? Why would a person not share one thing that is free of cost and can be a source of immense happiness and pleasure?

Every wonder what a set of crooked tooth could do? How psychologically painful it could be? Well that’s it; crooked stained un-presentable teeth could be a source of immense psychological pain and disturbance. One doesn’t like to expose things that are faulty and defected. Similarly who would like to showcase a smile which has defected teeth. None! And hence the confidence problems creep in impacting every event and element of one’s life.
