ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – There is an old school of thought that patients in need of orthodontic treatment should wait until all of their adult teeth have erupted.
But what happens when some of those adult teeth never erupt? Patients can needlessly prolong treatment, making treatment time longer, said St. Paul orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth.
That is one reason why the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive an initial orthodontic evaluation by age 7. In addition to early treatment that can lessen the time a child spends in future treatment, an orthodontist can confirm that a child has all of his or her adult teeth, said Eisenhuth, who owns Cosmopolitan Orthodontics, an Eagan and St. Paul orthodontics practice. Orthodontist Dr. Trudy Bonvino, a St. Paul invisalign provider, is the orthodontist on staff there. (more…)
