North Central San Antonio Orthodontics
For best orthodontic treatment for you or your child in the North Central San Antonio area, turn to Schatz Orthodontics. Malocclusion occurs when the teeth are out of alignment. This condition can be the source of a variety of dental problems. Misalignment of teeth can manifest as a natural occurrence, or it can be the result of habits such as thumb-sucking. It can also occur due to trauma or missing teeth. Orthodontic treatment is available for adults and children living in the North Central San Antonio area, to correct malocclusion and straighten teeth for a beautiful smile.
Intervention in the early stages of malocclusion makes it possible for the orthodontist to develop a treatment plan so your child’s permanent teeth can come in straight. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children with orthodontic needs be seen around age seven. At this age, most children have a mix of primary and permanent teeth, which allows for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment of tooth and jaw issues. This early intervention can also minimize or eliminate the need for surgery.
Teens and adults of all ages also seek orthodontic treatment to straighten crooked teeth. Mild misalignments can affect the aesthetics of your smile. More severe cases can lead to other dental problems. In some situations, if the malocclusion is severe enough, surgery may be needed. Schatz Orthodontics, serving North Central San Antonio residents, addresses all levels of orthodontic care.
