What Happens If You Don’t Treat Orthodontic Issues Early? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Some orthodontic issues may seem minor at first, but they can become more complex as your child grows. Early evaluation helps us guide development and avoid bigger problems later.

Delaying treatment can lead to:
🦷 Increased crowding as adult teeth come in
🦷 Bite problems that worsen over time
🦷 Longer or more complex treatment later
🦷 Higher risk of tooth wear or damage

Early checkups don’t always mean early treatment, but they do mean better planning.

What Is Phase One Orthodontic Treatment? 🦷
Orthodontic visits by age 7 allow us to monitor growth and catch issues early. Phase one treatment guides jaw development while your child is still growing.

Early treatment may help:
🦷 Create space for permanent teeth
🦷 Correct developing bite problems
🦷 Reduce risk of impacted teeth
🦷 Prevent more complex treatment later

Not every child needs early care, and that matters. With 25+ years of experience, Dr. Homon recommends treatment only when it benefits your child’s long-term smile.

Why Are Retainers So Important After Braces? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Your child finished braces, exciting! But keeping that new smile in place requires retainers. Teeth can naturally shift as kids and teens grow.

Shifting can happen due to:
🦷 Ongoing jaw development
🦷 Everyday chewing pressure
🦷 Skipping retainer wear
🦷 Not following instructions

For growing smiles, retention is essential.

At Homon Orthodontics, we create customized retention plans to protect your child’s results long-term. A beautiful smile is an investment, and we help you keep it that way.

How to Treat Canker Sores When You Have Braces 😬

If you have braces, you may notice canker sores pop up more often. Brackets and wires can rub against the inside of your cheeks or lips, causing irritation, especially when your mouth is adjusting.

Here’s how to help soothe and heal canker sores:
🦷 Use orthodontic wax
🦷 Rinse with warm salt water
🦷 Apply over-the-counter oral gels or pastes made for canker sores
🦷 Avoid spicy, acidic, or crunchy foods
🦷 Keep your mouth clean

The good news? Most canker sores heal on their own within 7–10 days.

What Kind of Toothbrush Should You Use With Braces? 🪥

Braces create extra spaces where food and plaque can hide, which means brushing the right way, and with the right toothbrush, is more important than ever.

Here’s what we recommend:
🦷 Soft-bristled toothbrush – Gentle on gums and effective around brackets
🦷 Small or compact brush head – Makes it easier to reach around wires
🦷 Electric toothbrush (optional but helpful) – Especially ones with a pressure sensor and orthodontic brush heads

A clean smile helps keep treatment on track and protects your teeth for the long run! 😁

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Really Take? ⏳

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Treatment time depends on:
🦷 The complexity of the bite and alignment
🦷 The type of treatment used (braces vs. aligners)
🦷 How well instructions are followed
🦷 Using custom-made treatment plans designed specifically for each smile

At Homon Orthodontics, our experience and personalized approach allow us to achieve the best results in the shortest time possible, without cutting corners. Every smile is different, and your treatment should be too.

🦷 When Is It Time for a Palatal Expander? 😁

A palatal expander is often recommended when the upper jaw is too narrow. Common signs include crowded teeth, crossbites, mouth breathing, or difficulty fitting all adult teeth.

Expansion works best while a child is still growing, which is why early orthodontic evaluations are so important. Treating these issues early can improve bite function and reduce the need for more complex treatment later.

If you notice these signs, Dr. Homon can help determine the right timing and treatment plan.

🦷 When Is the Ideal Age to Get Braces? 😁

The ideal time for an orthodontic evaluation is around age 7. At this age, Dr.Homon can spot jaw growth issues, crowding, or bite problems early. Even if braces aren’t needed yet.

Many kids start braces between ages 9–14, when teeth and jaws are still developing, making treatment more efficient.

That said, it’s never too late! Teens and adults can achieve great results too!
