Children are most prone to grinding their teeth between the ages of 2 and 3, when the last of their primary teeth come in, and between the ages of 9 and 12, when the last of their permanent teeth are erupting. Once children have all their primary teeth or most of their permanent teeth, the grinding usually comes to a half. If after the age of 10 to 11 the grinding has not significantly lessened, that is a sign that the bite is incorrect and an orthodontic exam should be performed. Although the sound of grinding teeth can be quite disconcerting to the ears of parents, the habit can be ignored under the age of 6 — unless there is a change in the appearance of primary (baby) teeth. Once most of the permanent teeth are erupted (age 11-13) or the final permanent teeth have their eruption paths, and grinding has not stopped, the orthodontist should be consulted. Misaligned teeth or stress could be the root of the problem. Orthodontics is a special kind of dentistry involving the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularifies.The practice of orthodontics involves the design, application, selection and control of corrective appliances to treat and correct these problems. Parents with any orthodontic concerns for their child should consult an orthodontist concerning the need for orthodontic treatment. As a dental specialist, an orthodontist has elected to limit his practice to this specific area or expertise and has received additional training by an accredited dental school for advanced education.
