If your child
has major gaps
between his or her permanent
teeth, or teeth that are tipped or
turned out of place, chances are
you should consider orthodontic
treatment. Proper treatment can
make significant improvement over
severelymal-aligned teeth. Although
most orthodontists agree that the
earlier treatment begins, the better,
it is never too late. It is always best
for the orthodontist to direct the final
erupting permanent teeth into their
ideal positions. To determine the best
time to begin orthodontic treatment
a consultation should be set up with
an orthodontic specialist.

uch factors as thumb-sucking,
tongue thrusting, premature
loss of baby teeth, and a poor
breathing airway caused by enlarged
adenoids or tonsils may each
contribute to mal-positioned teeth,
but heredity may also play a significant
role. When it does it may be the
result of a complicated interplay of
factors. For example, it may be that
both parents have well aligned teeth
and their first child's teeth may erupt
uneventfully, but then the second
child may inherit the small jaw size
of the mother and the large tooth size
of the father. This mismatch is likely
to' result in overcrowding that has
the potential to be detrimental to the
child's future oral health. Another
of several possibilities is to inherit
the upper jaw. size of the father and
the lower jaw size of the mother. By
properly evaluating the relationship
between the teeth and the jaws
and to each other, the orthodontist
