Adult Orthodontics

Most people believe that orthodontic treatment is indicated only for children and teenagers. However, adults can benefit as well from orthodontic treatment. In certain cases, treatment may take longer than adolescent orthodontics, however the results are as rewarding.

Adults who may have experienced some bone loss may require periodontal treatment prior, during and/or after orthodontic treatment.

Children Orthodontics

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that all children have an orthodontic screening no later than age 7. This is the ideal time for correction of the conditions illustrated below.

Typical Correctable Conditions

Anterior Cross-Bite

Posterior Cross-Bite

Severe Crowding

Open Bite

Protrusion

Deep Bite

Underbite

Spacing

Oral Habits

In addition, if you notice any of the following in your child, come in for a consultation:

  • Early or late loss of baby teeth

  • Oral habits such as thumb sucking

  • Mouth breathing

  • Speech difficulties

  • Facial imbalance difficulty in chewing or biting

Final treatment decisions will be made among the parent, the child's dentist and Dr. Bulucea.
