(Question) Is it better to correct crooked teeth in elementary school students as early as possible?
I received orthodontic treatment for a year due to malocclusion when I was 8 years old.
I received treatment because my lower teeth are more prominent than my upper teeth.
Currently, the upper teeth are more protruded than the lower teeth, so the malocclusion treatment is finished.
My daughter is currently 14 years old, and as her wisdom teeth started to come in one or two at a time, her teeth have become quite crooked.
There is not enough space, so I think orthodontic extraction will also be necessary.
When I was 8 years old during malocclusion treatment, the dentist said that I might need orthodontic treatment when I grow older.
The dental clinic I used to go to became difficult to visit last year when we moved to a different area.
I'm always worried because I have crowded teeth and my teeth are not straight..
My daughter has a memory of experiencing a lot of pain during her malocclusion, so she has a reluctance towards orthodontic treatment.
Have you had orthodontic treatment when you were young, or do you have children who have undergone orthodontic treatment?
Would it be better to receive treatment before becoming a middle school student if I have extra teeth and there is not enough space between them?
I'm planning to visit the hospital for a consultation soon, and I'm feeling very worried.
