Early Orthodontics for Children in Hanover – The 5 Key
Questions (KFOBABAI)

Many parents wonder whether their child already needs braces.
Early orthodontic treatment helps detect and gently correct
dental and jaw misalignments at a young age. The KFOBABAI team
answers the five most common questions:

1. When should my child have their first orthodontic
check-up?

Ideally between ages 6 and 7. At this stage, jaw growth can be
guided, and developing problems can be addressed early—often
avoiding more complex treatment later.

2. What signs indicate early treatment might be
needed?

Possible indicators include:

Frequent thumb-sucking or chewing on objects

Speech or chewing difficulties

Crossbite or open bite

Predominant mouth breathing

Early detection allows gentle and effective correction.

3. What treatments are used for young
children?

Mostly removable braces or functional appliances that guide jaw
development, create space for permanent teeth, and improve
alignment. These methods are child-friendly and minimally
invasive.

4. Does health insurance cover the costs?

If treatment is medically necessary, statutory health insurance
usually covers it. KFOBABAI provides individual advice and
support with approvals.

5. Why is early treatment important?

Early intervention can:

Prevent later complications

Improve oral hygiene

Support clear speech and chewing

Strengthen self-confidence

Reduce the need for extensive future treatment

Conclusion: Early detection enables gentle
care

development. KFOBABAI in the Hanover region offers personalized
