What
is Orthodontics?
When describing orthodontics,
most people just refer to braces. While the majority of orthodontic cases
involve braces, there are alternatives that may be used for younger children.
Arch expanders and training appliances
for younger children can minimize or eliminate the need for braces when problems
are treated early enough.
What is an Arch Expander?
An
Arch Expander is one example of early orthodontic treatment available
for younger patients. Many times an arch expander can be used to create a
proper alignment of the arches so permanent teeth have room to erupt in a
natural position. The use of an arch expander will generally minimize or eliminate
the need for braces when the patient gets older.
