boy, when those first permanent teeth start coming in - they look so bizarre on little kids- don't they? but believe or not- they usually grow into them. i would take her in to the dental office and have her looked over. it might be too soon to tell but often you can get a pretty accurate prediction of how things will go \n\nusually kids go into braces at about 12 but my son went in to prevent a problem at age 9

Keep him away from the chiropractor.  See a pediatric orthopedics specialist.

Simple. You can't. You need to see a dentist. If you DIY you can actually end up with a warped teeth, jaw problems, etc. Problems that will be even more costly than just braces.

really, your dentists needs to look at you and evaulate the situation in your mouth. its impossible to say here what an orthodontists would ideally need for you to get the best treatment with braces. your dentist and orthodontist would consult on this using your xrays ect to decide.

Go to a dentist in your neighbourhood and interview him.

You can search for providers at: http://www.virginiapremier.com/home/search/providerSearch.jsp\n\nIt does not look like they provide dental insurance, so you would most likely need to pay for a dentist on your own and get a referral for surgery. There are orthodontic surgeons listed, you could start there.

My daughter is 6 and her dentist said that she was going to need braces as she gets older.  He stated that he would prob. send her to an orthodontist at about 8 depending on how many of her baby teeth are gone.  They can start to work on little things but not put in the actual braces yet.  I also have a friend whose daughter has been going since she was 8 to have them try to fix some other things before putting on the braces (her teeth were really bad though).  It depends on what they have to do prior to putting on the braces and if he is ready to start wearing them.  What does the orthodontist say?

IN THE STORE THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUS, NO. SEE AN ORTHODONTIST.

Invisaglign can also be done a lot quicker.  Say, about a year or less instead of more than a year.  H O W E V E R, you have to be a candidate for Invisalign.  It does not work for every kind of orthodontic problem.  You have to be at least 14 years old, have no crowding etc., insurance will also not cover this.  Things to consider.

look in your yellow pages under gov. look for dept. of disabilities.  if your son was diagnosed before the age of 21 the state well pick up the whole bill. as well as fund anything else he needs.\nif you son has social sercurity then you know about red tape and hanging in there sometimes it is very easy and sometimes you have to patient.

First you will have an evaluation by an orthodontist, his work will include the braces and the retainers. I would look at anywhere from $1500 to $3500. He will expect you to have your teeth cleaned and repair work done first. You will then be expected to have cleanings at least every 6 months and sometime 3 during your treatment. If you need to have any teeth extracted an oral surgeon will charge for that. Having the teeth bleached could range from $200 to over $1000. I would think you will need in the area of $6000. That is what the total of my work was and I had them put on 6 years ago. I must add that I am very pleased with the results. After having 5 of my nine children done I decided it was my turn. All associated people should now be able to go on nice vacations thanks to my payments over the years!

Ask your general dentist, if you have one.  If you don't have a general dentist, then you need to find one and go for a checkup before seeing the orthodontist to make sure you don't have any cavities or gum disease and to get your teeth cleaned before having braces put on. \n\nDr. R.

Your son has what is called an open bite.  It can be caused from sucking his thumb or a condition called tongue thrusting. This means that the space in his mouth is smaller then his tongue hence the tongue has no where to go so it comes out the front of the teeth.  Also normally children that have an open bite seem to suffer from allergies, or asthma.  Because there is some type of airway constriction and they have a hard time breathing through their nose, then they have to get air somehow so they become mouth breathers.  This can also cause an open bite.  At age 2.5 there is not much they can do yet.  My son had this trouble with airway constriction due to allergies.  We have had him on antihistamines from time to time to help.  Last year his orthodontist put in what is called a palate expander.  He wore it for about three months.  It is a fixed appliance which opens up the palate for better breathing and gives the teeth more room to come in.  It does not hurt and works well. If you have any questions or concerns call your doctor or dentist and ask what course of treatment you should be taking as your son gets older.  For now I would not worry about it, as long as he is healthy and happy then you have plenty of time to worry about his teeth.  Just make sure that you are brushing his teeth often and limit sticky candy and foods.

A... although I would take him to a faith healer also... so both I guess. And good luck to you and your son.

You don't have to have a dentist's referral to go to an orthodontist.  Sometimes you'll get lucky and find one that does not charge for the initial exam.\n\nMake sure you're keeping them clean in the meantime.
