The best time to see an orthodontist is between the ages of five and seven. At this time, overbite and crowding become noticeable. An early examination allows the orthodontic specialist to determine when a child’s particular problem should be treated for maximum improvement with the least time and expense because 75 percent of a child’s growth occurs before the age of 10.This is also an ideal time to take advantage of the child’s growing facial bones to achieve the best results because once the face and jaws have finished growing, result may be less ideal.It often requires the removal of teeth; and begin TMJ, or jaw joint difficulties.

Our goal is to achieve a stable, natural environment for the fullest development of the facial features, jaws and teeth, leading to a beautiful smile.

Though a lot of people might panic at the sound of root resorption (after all? Who wouldn’t?), it’s actually treatable by regular oral hygiene and visits to the dentists for further instructions. Root resorption is actually much more common than everyday people realize. With trends in orthopedic procedures going on, it’s not surprising that a lot of people experience root resorption.

To overcome this, dentists monitor the progress of the resorption through x-rays. Everyday oral hygiene should be observed, ie. brushing your tooth, flossing, etc. Care should be taken not to exert pressure on the gums as this will only cause more trauma on the roots.

Root Resorption is the breakdown of the root structure of the tooth. A subsequent loss of the structure follows because that part of the tooth is being attacked by living body cells. After it extends to the whole tooth structure, it is then called tooth resorption.
The normal causes of root resorption include the wearing of braces. The roots experience this because they were moved at too fast a speed and at too little a time span while the patient was wearing braces.
Other aetiological factors are reimplantation, trauma, pressure from adjacent unerupted teeth, and tumors both odontogenic and non-odontogenic.
