Most parents believe that orthodontic treatment is reserved for teenagers with braces. However, orthodontic experts recommend that the first orthodontic examination be done already between 6 and 8 years of age<\/strong> \u2014 in the period when the child has both milk and permanent teeth (the so-called mixed dentition).<\/p>\n It is then that early signs of orthodontic irregularities can be observed: crowded teeth, bite problems, bad oral habits such as finger sucking or mouth breathing, which can have a long-term effect on the growth of the jaws and the position of the teeth.<\/p>\n And if you don't notice anything unusual, an expert can identify hidden developmental disabilities<\/strong> which are not visible to the normal people.
