Your Child & Orthodontics By age seven, most children have a mix of baby teeth and adult teeth, which makes it easier for us to diagnose and correct tooth and jaw problems sooner and without surgery. That’s why the American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic assessment around this age. As a parent, it’s not always clear what to look for. Here are some signs that we consider… O Mouth breathing O Finger or thumb sucking O Difficulty chewing or biting food O Early or late loss of baby teeth O Crowded, misplaced, or blocked teeth O Jaws that pop or click when opening and closing O Teeth that don’t come together or do so abnormally O Jaws and teeth that are out of proportion to the face O Crowded front teeth around age seven or eight With early treatment, we can correct many problems without surgery and ensure that your child’s permanent teeth come in straight. Your child can have a healthy, beautiful smile for the future! Why Orthodontics Work For Children! Dr. Cherry has treated extensive child cases from beginning to end. This patient in particular, an 8 year old boy, has completed the first phase of his treatment and was a more complex case than most. During the first phase of this patient’s treatment, Dr. Cherry’s goal was to correct the skeletal discrepancy of the narrow upper arch and also correct the cross bite that affected the function of the jaw; all of which are very important to complete before moving on to Phase two. In order for Dr. Cherry to achieve this result, Phase one treatment consisted of a palatal expander with protraction head gear, followed by limited upper braces. Total time for Phase one was 12 months. before After *Actual Patient of Cherry Orthodontics (2,1) -2- 89490.indd 9/10/2013 8:46:44 AM It’s Never Been Easier You’re never too old for a straight beautiful smile! Y Teens & Braces Don’t D on’t worry worry – it’s it’s all all good! good! Whether your teen has bite problems, crowding, or crooked teeth, when teens think braces, they’re often really seeing train tracks! But nothing could be further from the truth. We offer a variety of styles, materials, and colors that are not only comfortable to wear and easy to take care of, but in many cases, are nearly invisible. That is, unless your teen wants to make a colorful fashion statement! Probably the first question teens ask us is - How long will I have to wear them? Well, that depends… If your teen has received early treatment, we can monitor the growth of the jaw and only short-term treatment may be required. If not, then the length of time will be influenced by the complexity of the problem that needs correction and on how quickly your teen’s body responds to treatment. 12 – 24 months is not unusual. Here’s another crucial factor… Your teen’s willingness to actually use the appliances! Consistency plays a major role in the length of time it takes to complete treatment. It’s also important to take care of braces and appliances – this really does help make treatment shorter! We love working with teens and we’re always happy to guide them and help them through this process. There’s nothing like the prospect of a pictureperfect, show-stopping smile to motivate your teen! Many Ma M an adults are choosing orthodontic treatment. Sometimes it’s the fulfillment of a lifetime dream because they want to finally have a fu ulfiil u ggorgeous go orrgg straight smile. For others it’s less about looks – they understand that th hatt bite and orthodontic issues can negatively affect their oral health. Whatever the motive, adults are taking advantage of orthodontics, and Wh W now you can too. n Adults can experience these common problems… O Crowded, crooked or badly spaced teeth that affect appearance and can can cause tooth decay or gum disease. O A bad b bite that causes teeth to fit together incorrectly. O Jaw pain or pressure caused by crooked teeth. O De Desire for improved oral health and a more confident smile. 4 Rea Reasons To Consider Adult Orthodontic Treatment 1. A beautiful, straight smile builds self-confidence socially and professionally! 2. Straight teeth are healthy teeth. 3. Untreated smiles can create long-term health issues costing you more in the end. 4. Modern appliances can work faster than ever before … and can be virtually invisible! We sincerely hope you’ll call for a consultation. Our team will be happy to work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments, that your needs are met with understanding and respect, and we will accommodate your busy schedule. Adult Orthodontics Forget everything you thought you knew After many years of self-consciousness about a severe open bite and numerous spaces, this patient, age 34, is delighted with a terrific new smile. Dr. Cherry provided full treatment of both the upper and lower arches using Damon® System Braces which differ from traditional braces in that they utilize a “passive slide mechanism”, rather than traditional brackets, and can provide a less complicated treatment for adults. When undergoing straightening with Damon braces, you can expect a gentler overall treatment, fewer appointments, and often see full results in less time than traditional braces. In this case, the treatment time was about 31 months. As you can see, this was a very worthwhile time investment for our patient who can not only eat and speak better than before, but can work and socialize with absolute self-confidence! *Actual Patient of Cherry Orthodontics before After 38843-89490 Inside 38 (1,1) -1- 89490.indd 9/10/2013 8:46:10 AM Surrey Glen Pk Rd le Rd vervil Hano OUR PRACTICE Brodhead Naza reth B ethle mhem Pike Lower Nazareth Township Park Rd d Butztown R n Georgetow Cherry Orthodontics 4473 Hanoverville Rd Bethlehem, PA 18020 www.CherryOrtho.com 22 Dr. William J.
