Interceptive orthodontics is a proactive approach aimed at identifying and addressing potential orthodontic issues in their early stages, typically in children between the ages of 6 and 10.

The goal of interceptive orthodontics is to prevent or minimize the need for more extensive and invasive orthodontic treatments later in life. By identifying and treating dental and jaw irregularities early on, we can help create sufficient space for permanent teeth, guide proper tooth eruption, and improve overall jaw alignment.

During your child's initial orthodontic evaluation, our experienced orthodontists will carefully assess their dental and facial development. Through a combination of clinical examination, digital imaging, and other diagnostic tools, we will identify any potential issues that may require intervention.

Interceptive orthodontics can address various dental concerns, such as crowded or misaligned teeth, crossbites, thumb sucking, and protruding front teeth. Early intervention can create enough space for permanent teeth to erupt properly, avoiding future crowding and misalignment issues, correcting crossbites can prevent asymmetrical facial growth, and guiding proper alignment of the front teeth can reduce the risk of dental injuries and improve aesthetics.

Once we identify any orthodontic concerns, we will recommend the most appropriate treatment options based on your child's unique needs. Interceptive orthodontic treatments may involve the use of orthodontic appliances, such as space maintainers, palatal expanders, or limited braces.

Our skilled orthodontic team will work closely with you and your child to ensure a comfortable and positive experience throughout the treatment process. We will provide you with clear instructions on how to care for any appliances and schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your child's progress.
