How to scientifically correct children's teeth?

I'd be happy to answer your questions about orthodontics in children.

Scientific orthodontics requires comprehensive consideration of children's age, tooth development and orthodontic needs. The following are some common scientific methods and suggestions:

1. Evaluate the child's dental development: Before deciding whether to correct it, the doctor will evaluate the child's dental development, including the arrangement of teeth, occlusal relationship and jaw growth. This is usually done by oral examination, X-ray and facial photography.

2. Choose the appropriate correction method: According to the specific situation of the child, the doctor will choose the appropriate correction method. Common corrective methods include traditional metal bracket correction, ceramic bracket correction, invisible correction (such as Invisalign) and functional correction. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, and doctors will recommend the most suitable method according to children's needs and expected results.

3. Regular follow-up and adjustment: Orthodontics is a gradual process that requires regular follow-up and adjustment. The doctor will make corresponding treatment plans and make necessary adjustments according to the child's tooth movement and orthodontic progress. Parents also need to cooperate with the doctor's advice to help their children wear braces or invisible appliances correctly and maintain good oral hygiene habits.

4. Pay attention to diet and oral hygiene: During orthodontics, children need to pay attention to the choice of diet and the maintenance of oral hygiene. Avoid foods that are hard, sticky or prone to tooth decay, such as hard candy, nuts and candy. At the same time, brush your teeth, floss and rinse your mouth regularly to keep your mouth clean and healthy.

In short, scientific orthodontics needs to comprehensively consider the individual differences and needs of children, and be evaluated and guided by professional doctors. Parents' support and cooperation are also important. If you have specific orthodontic problems, it is recommended that you consult your local orthodontist for more detailed and personalized advice.
