Predicting the Future
Ask the Orthodontist
It is possible to estimate if your child will need braces in the future by certain
aspects of there developing teeth. For example, when all the baby teeth (also known
as deciduous or primary teeth) have erupted, if there is crowding or not excess
space between the teeth, there is likelihood that orthodontics will be needed. The
permanent teeth take up more space than the baby ones they replace so even if the
baby teeth look perfect in ideal alignment, there is probably going to be crowding.

To best guess if your child has enough room in the posterior or back of the mouth,
you can measure from the front of the lower 1st molar, which erupts into the mouth
around age 6, to the back of the lateral incisor which is the 2nd tooth from the
midline. If the measurement is less than 22 millimeters, then you can guess there
will not be enough room for the future permanent teeth.
To determine if the palate or roof of the mouth is wide enough, the measurement
you want to see between the right and left 1st permanent molars is 38 millimeters,
or the length of a dental cotton roll.This dimension is fairly consistent from age 10
to late adolescence.

Lastly, if you child can fit their little finger in between the upper and lower front teeth
when the mouth is closed, then you may have a future problem with overlap. Also if
you do not see at least 50% of the lower teeth when the teeth are closed together,
there may be a problem with a deep over-bite.
All these are best evaluated by an orthodontist who can best determine growth
direction and when to intervene.
