The optimal age to begin orthodontic treatment is typically 7 to 9 years old. This is because at this time children have a combination of adult and baby teeth, making it easier to fix problems like crowding or an improper bite. Early intervention can prevent more severe issues as they get older. If your child has irregular teeth, difficulty biting or chewing food, or breathes through their mouth regularly, then seeing an orthodontist for assessment would be wise. 

Temporary numbness can occur with topical anesthetics, but persistent tingling or loss of sensation might require further evaluation. While these sensations can be distressing, they often resolve over time. Stress and anxiety can also contribute to feelings of discomfort and even hair loss. I recommend consulting your healthcare provider again to discuss these symptoms in detail and explore appropriate treatments. Prioritize your well-being, and don’t hesitate to seek support for relief and reassurance.

To address your needs regarding dental alignment, it's essential to first identify any discomfort or misalignment you may be experiencing, such as overcrowding, gaps, or bite issues.

I encourage you to consult with an orthodontist, who can assess your unique situation and recommend the most suitable type for you.
