Many parents in V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga and across the Axarqu\u00eda ask us the same question: “At what age should I take my child for their first orthodontic check-up?”. Popular belief says you should wait until all the baby teeth have fallen out, but today\u2019s clinical reality is very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic<\/a>, based in V\u00e9lez<\/a>, we know that the age of 6 or 7 is the “golden age” for facial development. Today we\u2019re talking about interceptive orthodontics<\/a><\/strong>, the preventive, pain-free treatment that can spare your child complex surgery and extractions in the future. Find out why, in childhood, timing is everything! \ud83e\udd29<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike traditional braces<\/a> for teenagers (which focus purely on moving and aligning the teeth), interceptive orthodontics focuses on guiding the growth of the facial bones<\/strong> (the upper and lower jaw).<\/p>\n\n\n\n During childhood, the facial bones are malleable, a bit like modelling clay. If we act at this early stage, we can widen narrow palates, hold back a protruding lower jaw or encourage bone growth with very simple appliances. Put simply: we are preparing and enlarging the “garage” so that, when all the “cars” (the permanent teeth) arrive, they have enough room to park properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bone problems don\u2019t always hurt and aren\u2019t always visible to the naked eye. We recommend booking an assessment at our clinic in Torre del Mar if you notice any of these signs in your little one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Acting early at Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic brings advantages that will shape your child\u2019s adult life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We know that taking children to the dentist can raise a few worries. That\u2019s why, at Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic, we practise child-friendly dentistry. The first visit is designed so that your child sees it as a game. Forget the old, unpleasant impression paste that made people gag: we use our digital 3D scanner<\/strong> to get an exact map of their mouth in seconds, just like taking a video or a photo. The whole process is painless, quick and very visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best gift you can give your child is the chance to grow up healthy, balanced and free of hang-ups. Don\u2019t let their window of opportunity for bone growth slip by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your child is already 6, book a growth check-up<\/a> at Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic in V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga<\/a>. Our specialist will assess their facial development and give you the peace of mind you need as a parent. Let\u2019s look after the smile that will stay with them for life, together! \u2728<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many parents in V\u00e9lez-M\u00e1laga and across the Axarqu\u00eda ask us the same question: “At what age should I take my child for their first orthodontic check-up?”.
