Undergoing orthodontic treatment is often a bit milestone in a kid’s life. If you’re uncertain as to whether your child needs braces, here are some signs to keep an eye out for:
Their teeth are crooked.
They have difficulty speaking. An unaligned jaw can cause you to slur or have trouble pronouncing certain words, such as those that contain an ’s’ or ‘r’ sound.
If they’re losing baby teeth later. On average, children should have lost all their baby teeth before they hit the age of 12. If this isn’t the case, talk to your orthodontist.
They have problems biting and chewing food.
Your dentist recommends it.
