Ab welchem ​​Alter sollten Kinder ihre erste kieferorthopädische Untersuchung durchführen lassen? Ist die 7-Jährige-Regel wahr?

My daughter is 7.5 years old, her two front teeth are slightly crossed and spaced apart. Our pediatrician said to see an orthodontist, but most of the baby teeth have not fallen out yet. Shouldn't we wait for all the permanent teeth to come out, is 7 years old too early?

Definitely not too early! We said "let's wait for the teeth to fall out", so we took him when he was 8 years old and he had upper jaw stenosis. When it was intervened at an early age, it resolved very easily within 6 months because the bone was flexible. If it is late, surgery may even be required.

The World Orthodontic Association (WFO) and the Turkish Orthodontic Association recommend that all children be examined by an orthodontist at the age of 7 at the latest. The goal at this age is not to straighten all the teeth; It is to solve space limitations due to jaw stenosis, crossbite, skeletal problems or early loss of primary teeth without surgery by growth guidance at an early stage.

Ich stimme voll und ganz zu. Die Vorderzähne unseres Sohnes ragten aufgrund seiner Gewohnheit, am Daumen zu lutschen, nach vorne, aber nach sechs Monaten normalisierten sie sich dank des Gaumens, das er im Alter von sieben Jahren einsetzte, wieder.
