Can orthodontic correction occur while a child has baby teeth?

Yes. Some orthodontic problems are significant enough to require early intervention. However, if a patient is not yet ready for treatment, we will follow that patient’s growth and development until the time is right for treatment to begin.

• Orthodontic treatment can and often does occur in the presence of some primary (also known as baby) teeth. Often the space held by these baby teeth can be used to uncrown adult teeth without the need for extractions.

However, if a patient is not yet ready for treatment, we will follow that patient’s growth and development until the time is right for treatment to begin. Many teenage patients will still have a few baby teeth remaining and be ready to start orthodontic treatment. In cases where space shortage is a problem, it is more productive to make space rather than wait too long for teeth to attempt to erupt improperly.
