Does My Child Need an Orthodontic Appliance?
Dr. Gutierrez can examine your child’s teeth to determine whether they have any dental concerns that may need to be corrected with a special appliance. For example, space maintainers hold open any gaps in the grin so that adult teeth can grow in safely. Retainers preserve the results of traditional orthodontic treatment, preventing the teeth from reverting back to their original crooked state. Every appliance accomplishes a different goal, but they all serve the same general purpose: protecting your child’s long-term oral health.
