Should Your Child Get Braces?

Like most parents, you want to do everything you can to ensure that your child’s teeth and gums are as healthy as possible, especially before his or her permanent teeth start coming in. After all, your child’s smile is one of the first things people will notice about him or her. One option to help maintain that smile and those pearly whites is braces from a pediatric orthodontist near me . As with any health decision involving your child, it’s important to consider all your options before making a final decision on whether braces are right for your little one.
Why Parents Should Care About Early Orthodontic Treatment
It may not be on your radar, but if you have kids or are thinking about having kids, it’s important to know that early orthodontic treatment is a viable option. If you are thinking, What? My child isn’t even out of diapers!—it’s true: Some dental offices offer early orthodontic treatments to families with children as young as 5. The goal is to correct teeth and bite issues before they become problematic or harder (and more expensive) to fix later in life. An orthodontist who specializes in pediatric dentistry can guide you through all of your options for treating early problems, including how soon treatment should begin and which cases warrant surgery.
Deciding When to Start Orthodontic Treatment
Everyone has different timing on when to start braces. Whether your child should get braces will depend on a variety of factors like: tooth size, jaw growth and alignment, bite issues, how much space is left for teeth in their mouth and family history. You’ll want to consult with an orthodontist about whether or not your child is a good candidate for orthodontic treatment and how long it would take. Orthodontists help move teeth into positions where they can fit together more easily so we don’t have to grow into our smiles as adults.

Establishing The Right Timetable For Your Child
If you’re considering braces for your child, schedule a consultation with an orthodontist as soon as possible. According to Dr. Stephen Berman, a pediatric orthodontist in Chicago at Chicago Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, an early consultation is important because it will help you establish a timeline for treatment and determine if your child qualifies for orthodontic treatment from a medical perspective (e.g., if he/she has any growth abnormalities or malocclusions that need to be addressed). A pediatric dentist or general dentist can refer you to a pediatric orthodontist near you.
What Are Early Signs Of Orthodontic Problems In Children?
Orthodontic problems can begin as early as birth. How your child’s teeth fit together can determine whether or not he or she requires orthodontic treatment, though a good rule of thumb is that if your child has any issue with his or her teeth, you should bring it to your pediatric dentist’s attention. In some cases, a pediatric dentist may recommend braces for kids who have mild spacing issues and gummy smiles. This early diagnosis can prevent larger issues later on in life.
Is My Kid A Candidate For Dentist-Assisted Appliance Therapy?
It’s normal for kids to be self-conscious about their smiles. But if your kid feels like he can’t smile in photos because of crooked teeth, it might be time to make an appointment with a pediatric orthodontist near you. A specialist will know whether orthodontic treatment is necessary (and if so, which kind) and how best to talk with your kid about it. For example, parents of younger children should let them know that there are multiple treatments available—the most common one being a traditional metal wire-and-bracket appliance—but that they’ll have to wear it for a year or two. Once braces come off, many kids want straight teeth just like mommy and daddy anyway!

Japan says scrambled fighter jets after Russian planes spotted

The country’s defence ministry says Russian ‘intelligence-gathering’ aircraft spotted near its coasts along the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Japan.
Japan scrambled fighter jets after spotting Russian “intelligence-gathering” aircraft off its coasts along the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Japan on Thursday, the country’s defence ministry has said.
One Russian aircraft travelled from Japan’s north down along part of its west coast, while the other took a similar route along the opposite coast and returned the same way, the Joint Staff office run under the defence ministry said in a brief statement.
“In response, fighters of the Air Self-Defence Force’s Northern Air Force and other units were scrambled,” it added.
There was no further information on the incident, which comes days after Japan hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the summit of Group of Seven (G7) – a grouping of rich nations – in Hiroshima city.
Japan has joined Western allies in sanctioning Moscow over its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and has warned of the threat posed by Russia.
Its latest security document, which once called for enhanced ties and cooperation with Russia, now warns that Moscow’s military posturing in Asia and cooperation with China are “a strong security concern”.
Last May, Chinese and Russian military jets carried out joint flights near Japan immediately after a meeting of the United States-led Quad grouping in Tokyo. India and Australia are other members of Quad.
And more recently, Moscow has carried out military exercises, including test-firing missiles, in the Sea of Japan.
Russia considers Japan to be a “hostile” country – a designation it shares with all European Union countries, the US and its allies, including the United Kingdom and Australia.
Tokyo had complex relations with Moscow before the invasion of Ukraine in February, and the two sides have yet to sign a post-World War II peace treaty.
Attempts to do so have been hampered by a long-running dispute over islands controlled by Russia, which calls them the Kurils.

France bans short-haul flights to cut carbon emissions

France has banned domestic short-haul flights where train alternatives exist, in a bid to cut carbon emissions.
The law came into force two years after lawmakers had voted to end routes where the same journey could be made by train in under two-and-a-half hours.
The ban all but rules out air travel between Paris and cities including Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux, while connecting flights are unaffected.
Critics have described the latest measures as “symbolic bans”.
Laurent Donceel, interim head of industry group Airlines for Europe (A4E), told the AFP news agency that “banning these trips will only have minimal effects” on CO2 output.
He added that governments should instead support “real and significant solutions” to the issue.
Airlines around the world have been severely hit by the coronavirus pandemic, with website Flightradar24 reporting that the number of flights last year was down almost 42% from 2019.
The French government had faced calls to introduce even stricter rules.
France’s Citizens’ Convention on Climate, which was created by President Emmanuel Macron in 2019 and included 150 members of the public, had proposed scrapping plane journeys where train journeys of under four hours existed.
But this was reduced to two-and-a-half hours after objections from some regions, as well as the airline Air France-KLM.
French consumer group UFC-Que Choisir had earlier called on lawmakers to retain the four-hour limit.
“On average, the plane emits 77 times more CO2 per passenger than the train on these routes, even though the train is cheaper and the time lost is limited to 40 minutes,” it said.
It also called for “safeguards that [French national railway] SNCF will not seize the opportunity to artificially inflate its prices or degrade the quality of rail service”.
