Straight teeth are more than just cosmetic—they contribute to better oral health. Kevin Molldrem DDS recommends early orthodontic assessments for children to detect alignment issues before they become severe. Problems like overcrowding, misaligned bites, and jaw discrepancies are easier to correct at a young age. Early intervention reduces the need for extensive braces or even jaw surgery in Youngster. Clear aligners and modern braces offer discreet options for teens and Youngster seeking straighter smiles. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, lowering the risk of cavities and gum disease. Misalignment can also cause jaw pain, headaches, and uneven wear on teeth. Investing in orthodontic treatment at the right time ensures long-term dental health. Whether for a child or a Youngster, correcting alignment early leads to a healthier and more confident smile for life.
