Early diagnosis and proper orthodontic treatment of children can significantly improve the quality of life of young patients, preventing many problems in adulthood. In the following article, we will discuss the most common malocclusions, methods of treating them and answer the most frequently asked questions about pediatric orthodontics.  <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"cta-buttons\">\n\t\t<div class=\"h-20\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"stomo-wizyta-btn flex-start\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"gtm-conversion-one\" href=\"\/umow-wizyte\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<span><strong>Make an appointment for treatment<\/strong><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/felg.app\/extcal\/5326147360041790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most common malocclusion in children<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malocclusion in children can be divided into different types, depending on their nature. The most common are: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ankylosis:<\/strong> characterized by a retraction of the lower jaw relative to the upper jaw, leading to abnormal tooth contact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anterior overbite:<\/strong> the inverse of posterior overbite, with the lower jaw protruding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open bite:<\/strong> lack of contact between the upper and lower teeth, which is often due to habits such as thumb sucking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crossbite:<\/strong> a misalignment of teeth where the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methods of orthodontic treatment of children<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orthodontic treatment for children usually begins with a consultation with an orthodontist, who conducts a detailed bite evaluation. Based on this, a treatment plan is developed, which may include: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fixed braces:<\/strong> metal or ceramic brackets that are bonded to the teeth and gradually correct their alignment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removable <strong>braces:<\/strong> removable braces, used especially in younger children, which help correct less advanced defects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vestibular trainers and plates:<\/strong> used for functional defects and habits such as mouth breathing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, supportive treatment such as physiotherapy or speech therapy may also be necessary.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The importance of early diagnosis<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earlier a child&#8217;s malocclusion is diagnosed, the greater the chance of effective and less invasive treatment. Introducing the habit of regular visits to the dentist from an early age allows you to monitor the development of bite and respond to any irregularities. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How often should children visit the orthodontist?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is recommended that children have their first visit to an orthodontist at about age 7, unless the dentist has noticed any abnormalities earlier that require consultation. Thereafter, follow-up visits are made every 6-12 months or so. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can orthodontic treatment be painful?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Placing <a href=\"https:\/\/stomo.pl\/blog\/invisalign-niewidoczne-nakladki-na-zeby\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/stomo.pl\/blog\/invisalign-niewidoczne-nakladki-na-zeby\/\">braces <\/a>themselves is not painful, but after they are placed, the child may experience slight discomfort and tension in the teeth, which subsides after a few days. Orthodontists usually recommend painkillers for the initial days of treatment. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a child wear braces if he already has permanent teeth?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, orthodontic treatment can be started for both deciduous and permanent teeth. It is important that the treatment is tailored to the individual patient&#8217;s needs. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malocclusion in children is a problem worth addressing in the early years of life. Proper orthodontic treatment of children can prevent many complications in the future, ensuring a beautiful and healthy smile throughout life. The key here, however, is regular monitoring of the condition of the bite and quick response to any abnormalities. If you have any suspicions about your child&#8217;s malocclusion, don&#8217;t delay &#8211; make an appointment with pediatric dentistry and give your child a healthy start.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stomo.pl\/en\/blog\/paediatric-orthodontist-in-wroclaw-when-to-go-for-the-first-visit\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/stomo.pl\/blog\/ortodonta-dzieciecy-we-wroclawiu-kiedy-pierwsza-wizyta\/\">Your child&#8217;s first visit to the orthodontist &#8211; when and why is it worth it?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wondering when is the best time to enroll your child for a first visit to the orthodontist?
