ST. PAUL AND EAGAN, MINNESOTA – School is out and this is the perfect time to have your child evaluated for braces.
Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth, an Eagan and St. Paul pediatric orthodontist, gives four reasons why summer is the best time to begin orthodontic treatment:
1. No Homework, No School
This allows your child plenty of time for start orthodontic treatment without his/her appointments conflicting with school schedules.
2. Time To Adjust
“Getting braces during the summer months allows your child time to adjust to wearing the appliances, and to get over the initial soreness,” says Dr. Eisenhuth, an Invisalign provider. Once the braces are put on, the teeth may feel uncomfortable for the first few days. After the teeth adjust to the new equipment, your child can return to their daily activities.
“School and homework are enough to worry about for a child,” says Dr. Eisenhuth. “We want our patients to start the school year feeling good about their smile.”

The Advancements of X-rays

EAGAN MINNESOTA- Traditional X-rays may eventually become a thing of the past, now that 3D imaging is being used more often in conjunction with several types of orthodontic treatment.
X-rays are a great tool for diagnosing problems with the teeth and jaws, says Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth, an Eagan pediatric orthodontist.
Your teeth and the bone surrounding them are dense, meaning X-rays are easily absorbed. However, the gums and cheeks aren’t as dense, so the X-ray passes through and makes them appear dark on film. Teeth show up lighter on film and fillings, which are denser than the teeth, show up as a solid white color. Cavities show up as dark patches in a light tooth, according to the Colgate website.
