A dental arch expander is one best examples of early pediatric orthodontic treatment still used today. A dental arch expander can often be used to create a proper alignment of the arches so that permanent teeth have room to erupt in a natural position. The timely use of a dental arch expander will effectively minimize or eliminate at all the need for braces when the patient gets older.
At Children's Dental Health Associates, P.C., we will often recommend a dental arch expander to head off problems in the future. There is less resistance and self consciousness at an earlier age than waiting until the pre-teen years to begin orthodontic treatment.
