Hamilton, ON Early Orthodontic Treatment For Imbalanced Jaws: Program Announced

News of the upgrade comes as Schacher Orthodontics looks to raise awareness of the benefits that early orthodontal diagnoses can offer children and teens. By getting treatment at a young age, says the practice, patients can adjust the development of their teeth and reduce the need for more extensive modifications later on.

The Hamilton-area practice's upgraded growth modification program will be of interest to parents who've noticed an imbalanced jaw in their child, suggests Schacher Orthodontics. Performed sequentially, its treatments aim to rebalance the jaw while correcting overbites and other abnormalities as children grow.

Schacher Orthodontics points to the crucial nature of early diagnoses where jaw-related conditions are concerned. Children who are still in their growing stage offer an optimal window for easier treatment, which the practice notes can potentially prevent long-term braces as a future requirement. In addition, misshapen teeth can present a safety risk - making growth modification increasingly necessary.

As explained by Schacher Orthodontics: "Growth modification can treat reverse bites in a child, protruded front teeth, some types of crooked faces, open bites and deep bites. Patients with front teeth that protrude out severely are at increased risk of teeth fracture during a fall. Growth modification can help reduce this danger."

From the outset, the program's initial stages involve the careful assessment and monitoring of teeth as they emerge, guided by Schacher Orthodontics and its staff. Once permanent teeth are ready for arrangement, the second phase sees the team briefly apply braces followed by a retainer as patients complete their dental alignment.

Its staff describe such ongoing treatments as vital in helping teeth to grow into position comfortably and properly. By establishing a foundation early on, Schacher Orthodontics argues that the positive impact will be seen as children move into adulthood without needing to remove superfluous teeth or correct issues relating to overcrowding in their mouths.

In the words of a practice spokesperson: "When a growing child has jaw bone imbalances such that one jaw is bigger or smaller than the other, our two-phase growth modification treatment can help. This treatment is a very specialized process that harnesses the growth potential of a child and re-directs jaw growth to rebalance facial harmony."

Alongside East Hamilton, Schacher Orthodontics is equipped to provide its pediatric dentistry services for patients in Simcoe and Brantford, with several offices throughout the area. Further treatment options include braces for children and teens, specifically designed and fitted according to their dental needs.
