Video, they go over orthodontics for kids and what is important to know about this process. An impression will be taken from your child’s mouth by an orthodontist who develops a series of models made from wax. The models are used by the dentist in order to create an individual wire for your child.
In the beginning, your dentist will take a measurement of each tooth in order to find out its length and width. Next, they’ll identify the areas where brackets are to be fixed with colored dots. After that, they’ll apply dental cement (an adhesive) to attach each bracket in place on at the base of every tooth. Brackets are attached to the wire. A rubber band is placed between each frame to exert pressure on the teeth gently putting them in position.
For children, orthodontic treatment is identical to that for adults. The wires will be positioned on your child by the dentist using the same technique. The dentist will either tighten or loosen the wires over a some weeks until your child can comfortably wear them 24 hours a day. The procedure can last for several months, but once complete the child should be perfectly properly aligned teeth. cnga64r3ij.
