What Is the Goal of Orthodontic Treatment for Children?
Orthodontic treatment for children aims to create a healthy, functional bite. The goal is to properly align the teeth and jaw to make it as easy as possible for your child to speak, chew, and swallow.
When the teeth and jaw line up correctly, they can function as one. This makes it easier for your child to bite into food, chew it, and produce speech. Furthermore, we will make sure your child is happy with his or her smile, which is an added bonus. We have various treatment options, and we will customize them to meet your child’s needs.
How Does Orthodontic Care Help Children?
There are several ways that orthodontic care can help children. There are mental health benefits that children will enjoy, particularly teenagers and adolescents. Many children do not have straight teeth, but with proper orthodontic treatment, it is possible to straighten out those teeth, making sure children like their smiles.
Orthodontic treatment can also make it easier for your child to take care of his or her teeth. Children have to learn how to properly brush and floss their teeth, but if they cannot access every surface of the tooth, they will have difficulty taking care of their oral health. With orthodontic treatment, it is easier for children to take care of their teeth, reducing their chances of dealing with cavities.
Orthodontic treatment can straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and straighten the jaw. If there is a problem with your child’s oral health, there is a good chance that an orthodontist can help you. Count on the team from Zitterkopf | Gaworski Orthodontics & Falcon Orthodontics to care for your child’s oral health needs.

In the event that we are performing a procedure, we have a variety of sedation options available. If required, we will talk about them with you at that time. We will explain the benefits and drawbacks of every treatment option and do everything in our power to ease any anxieties your child might have.
