Anterior crossbite dental treatment for kids

Featured Replies

I'm clutching at straws here but does anyone have any experience of the ideal age for crossbite treatment? Most websites say "8-11 years old when the adult tooth is erupting and the new root forming" but some say it can be as early as 7.

 

Our adopted granddaughter has just turned 7 and has a mouth full of rotten teeth due to baby bottle caries (now "arrested", i.e. mineralised, but still a mess). The top two canine teeth are now pointing inwards and do not touch the lower teeth. The corresponding lower teeth are less than half the normal height due to caries and so cannot act as a placeholder. Our dentist has referred us to a specialist, but it seems a bit early to me. The treatment would consist of a brace at the top and possibly a steel cap at the bottom. It sounds quite expensive and I'm not sure the kid could handle fitting a cap just yet.

 

It’s not too early if you’re kid’s teeth are not coming in correctly.
