AppointmentsOvercrowding can occur with your child’s permanent teeth as they emerge from the gums. The tight spacing on specific area can significantly alter the alignment of multiple teeth. This could leave them at increased risk of suffering dental attrition and dental fractures on multiple related teeth in their bite pattern.
In a situation like this you should strongly consider scheduling an orthodontic consultation with Dr. Samuel Lambrecht and the associates at Orangeburg Dental Associates.
After a thorough examination Dr. Samuel Lambrecht can help you understand your options for correcting the alignment of their teeth. This might call for installing traditional braces into their mouth and cementing metal brackets onto the faces of their teeth.
If the overcrowding issue is severe in one location Dr. Samuel Lambrecht might recommend extracting a tooth. This will allow the sufficient space for the adjacent teeth to gradually come into their ideal alignment.
After the extraction, Dr. Samuel Lambrecht will provide you with the necessary recovery information to ensure their gums heal without complications. This might also include a prescription for anti-inflammatory or pain medications.
