5 Signs Your Child Might Need Braces

Braces are a common treatment to correct dental misalignments and improve oral health. Here are five signs that may indicate your child could benefit from orthodontic care:

1.    Crowded or Crooked Teeth – Overlapping or misaligned teeth can make brushing and flossing difficult, leading to potential oral health issues.    

2.    Early or Late Loss of Baby Teeth – If baby teeth fall out too soon or remain for too long, it may affect how permanent teeth come in.     

3.    Difficulty Biting or Chewing – Trouble with eating, frequent biting of the cheeks, or an uneven bite may indicate alignment issues.     

4.    Mouth Breathing or Speech Issues – Jaw misalignment can contribute to breathing through the mouth or speech difficulties such as lisping.     

5.    Overbite, Underbite, or Crossbite – If the upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly, it can lead to uneven wear, jaw discomfort, and potential long-term dental concerns.

Early orthodontic evaluations can help identify and address these concerns before they become more severe. If you notice any of these signs, consider scheduling a consultation with an orthodontist.
