At this age, children are in an active growth phase, and the development of the teeth and jaws follows closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A professional orthodontist can guide your child&#8217;s treatment correctly at the optimal time, which will help you avoid problems in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pay attention to a few warning signs that may lead to bite problems, which matter equally in children, teenagers and adults:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>Early or late loss of baby teeth, a missing permanent tooth<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Difficulty chewing or biting food<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Mouth breathing in adolescence caused by allergies or adenoids<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Prolonged thumb sucking<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Crowded, \u201cmixed-up\u201d and shifted teeth<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Crossbite, deep bite, protruding teeth<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Inability to close the lips comfortably<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Speech problems<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Teeth that do not meet<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Worn teeth<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Jaw joint problems<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice any of these symptoms, we recommend booking a visit with an orthodontist. The condition must be assessed by a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our advice is that not only teenagers but also adults with these symptoms should see an orthodontist, because a healthy smile has no age &#8211; our team is ready to help patients of any age achieve the best result!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October is Orthodontic Health Month!
