It is a natural intention for parents that their children should have not only nice but well-proportioned and regular rows of teeth. In order to have a beautiful smile, it is recommended to consult an orthodontics specialist when the child is 5-7 years old as this is the age when a number of occlusal and other irregularities can be screened, which can be treated excellently by a removable appliance (or a fixed appliance as necessary).

Most parents think that orthodontics is primarily for aesthetic reasons and only few of them know that other irregularities and bad habits (pacifiers, swallowing by tongue thrust, sucking fingers) can cause psychic disorders. Any occlusion irregularities can cause tooth overload and temporomandibular joint problems later on.
