Dr. Michael Maslowski practices Orthodontics in Oshkosh, WI. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment includes metal wires that are inserted into orthodontic brackets, which can be made from stainless steel or a more aesthetic ceramic material. The wires interact with the brackets to move teeth into desired positions. Being advanced in the field, Dr. Maslowski may also use Invisalign or other aligner trays that have been designed to align a patients smile. As an orthodontist, Dr. Maslowski must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.

Dr. Michael John Maslowski DDS's Expert Contributions
My daughter is 4 years old and is used to sucking her thumb. Will it cause her teeth to grow outwards?
Thank you for the question. As long as the habit stops before the permanent teeth erupt, the permanent teeth should not come in flared. However, there are some skeletal (genetic) growth patterns that the front teeth erupt into the mouth more flared than ideal. My recommendation is to try to stop the habit before the adult teeth begin to erupt. Prior to that age, stopping a finger habit is very difficult based on patient maturity. Michael J. Maslowski, DDS, MS READ MORE
