Early Orthodontics | Hillsboro, OR | Hai Pham DMD - Hi5 Dentistry for Kids | Early Orthodontic Care | Board Certified Pediatric Dentist Beaverton OR
Orthodontic treatment is primarily used to prevent and correct "bite" irregularities. Many factors can contribute to such irregularities, including genetic factors, the early loss of primary (baby) teeth, and damaging oral habits, such as thumb sucking and developmental problems.
Crooked teeth can affect a child's self-esteem and also makes oral hygiene and homecare difficult. Straight teeth help minimize the risk of tooth decay and childhood periodontal disease, by eliminating crevices and pockets caused by crooked teeth.
During regular visits, Dr. Pham is able to utilize several diagnostic tools that monitor orthodontic irregularities and will discuss early intervention strategies with you and your child if they feel it is necessary.
There are three primary stages of orthodontic treatment; early treatment (2-6 years old), middle dentition treatment (6-12 years old), and adolescent dentition (13 years old and up).
