Between ages two and three, the conditions are such that an orthodontist can maximize the long-term benefit to the child. Rather than allowing unfavorable growth to continue-and trying to correct when bones are harder and more &#8220;set&#8221; as a teenager or an adult-it is much easier to influence the bones in children because they are more malleable.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Early prevention treatment<\/h3>\r\n<p>Orthodontics has continued to evolve in ways that ultimately benefit the long-term health of patients. Early prevention treatment is one of the best examples of this. Issues such as finger sucking habits, improper tongue placement, and mouth breathing can greatly impact the growth and development of a child&#8217;s jaw, as well as how well they are able to breathe.<\/p>\r\n<p>At Warsaw Orthodontics, we use growth appliances, <a href=\"\/myofunctional-therapy\/\">myofunctional therapy<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/orthotropics\/\">orthotropics<\/a> to improve the long-term health of our patients.<\/p>\r\n<p>In many cases, the earliest intervention is the best intervention. By changing the direction of growth now, patients can avoid more extensive treatment later.<\/p>\r\n<p>Warsaw Orthodontics is one of very few orthodontist offices that offers this advanced, extremely customized treatment for young children. And the success of this type of treatment is evident in our patients&#8217; smiles.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"girl-smile\" data-src=\"https:\/\/warsaworthodontics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/girl-smile.jpg\" alt=\"Learn how early prevention can eliminate long, expensive treatment for your child\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/400;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"girl-smile\" src=\"https:\/\/warsaworthodontics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/girl-smile.jpg\" alt=\"Learn how early prevention can eliminate long, expensive treatment for your child\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early Prevention Catching and treating issues early Early intervention treatment is imperative to fix some orthodontic issues.
