When choosing an orthodontic treatment plan, the doctor will evaluate the specific situation of the child, including age, dental condition and jaw development. Common orthodontic treatment methods include:
1. Bracket correction: This is one of the most common orthodontic treatment methods. The doctor will install metal or ceramic brackets on the child's teeth, then connect the brackets with the archwire with thin wires, and gradually adjust the shape and strength of the archwire to move the teeth.
2. Invisible orthodontics: This method uses a transparent plastic tray to wrap the teeth, which can avoid the visible metal attachments in traditional bracket orthodontics. This method is suitable for mild to moderate tooth irregularity.
3. Functional appliance: This method is suitable for children with jaw dysplasia. The doctor will customize a special appliance for the child, which can help adjust the position and relationship of the upper and lower jaws.
4. Rapid correction: This is a relatively new orthodontic treatment method, which can complete the correction in a short time. It uses special materials and technology, which can speed up the movement of teeth.
It should be noted that orthodontic treatment requires patience and time, and it usually takes months or even years to complete. At the same time, children need regular follow-up visits during orthodontic treatment to maintain good oral hygiene habits to ensure the treatment effect and oral health.
