As new statistics clearly show the precarious situation related to dental health amongst children in Dubai, American Dental Clinic stresses on the importance of orthodontics.

American Dental Clinic recently highlighted the importance of orthodontics for children. Aside from preventing aesthetic problems in the future, orthodontics is also known to play a major role in correcting the ‘bite’ as well as addressing the issue of overcrowding teeth. These are both two primary problems found in dentistry, and more often than not are easier to treat at a young age when bones and teeth are still shifting and growing. As dentists in Dubai with over 20 years of experience in the field, the clinic has long been renowned for its expertise.

Orthodontics for children generally includes either retainers or braces as they are a couple of the most non-invasive methods of treatment. They can be used to straighten misaligned teeth, push them back thereby correcting the bite and also push them closer together if there are gaps in between. Although depending on the severity of the situation the time it takes to show results varies, orthodontics is one of the most popular branches of dentistry in the world today. It also encourages children to take more of an interest in their oral hygiene consequently reducing the demand for dental implants in Dubai.

‘Most of the time, we tend to only take action on an issue when quite a significant time period has passed. As parents, you need to take the lead and help your children be the best they can be. This includes a healthy dental life; once their adult teeth kick in, they will have them for the rest of their lives so it is critical that you help them take care of them as best as they can. Carting them off to various dentists in Dubai is not the solution. One wrong move can affect an entire lifetime. If your child has any problems with an over-bite, under-bite, crowded or buck-teeth, gaps and misalignment, you must consider orthodontics. It’s easier for everyone involved to deal with these issues at a young age than having to handle them when they’re older. Problems such as over-crowded teeth snowball into other problems such as tooth decay as it’s difficult to brush and floss therefore retaining food particles over and over again.
