What is Interceptive Orthodontics?
Interceptive Orthodontics is an early orthodontic intervention approach aimed at identifying and addressing dental issues in children at a young age. This proactive treatment focuses on guiding the growth and development of the jaw and dental arches to create sufficient space for emerging permanent teeth. By addressing orthodontic concerns early on, interceptive orthodontics can minimize the need for more extensive treatments in the future, such as braces or extractions. This approach sets the stage for a healthy and harmonious smile as the child grows, promoting proper oral development and overall dental well-being.
Why Choose Interceptive Orthodontics?
Choosing interceptive orthodontics offers your child a head start on achieving a beautifully aligned smile and a balanced bite. Interceptive orthodontics can guide the proper alignment of the jaw, reduce crowding, and create adequate space for incoming adult teeth by intervening during their early developmental stages. The proactive nature of this approach can help prevent more complex orthodontic issues and reduce the duration and complexity of future treatments. Embrace interceptive orthodontics to set the foundation for a lifetime of confident and healthy smiles.
Interceptive Orthodontics Procedure
Interceptive orthodontics involves comprehensively evaluating your child's dental development and identifying early orthodontic issues. Our expert orthodontists use custom appliances like expanders or space maintainers to guide jaw growth and create space for incoming permanent teeth. Regular adjustments and monitoring ensure effective results. By addressing concerns early, interceptive orthodontics aims to minimize the need for future extensive treatments, setting the foundation for a healthy and confident smile as your child grows.
Am I a candidate?
If your child has dental concerns such as crowding, excessive spacing, jaw misalignment, or thumb-sucking habits, they may be candidates for interceptive orthodontics. It is recommended to schedule a consultation with our skilled orthodontists to assess your child's dental development and determine the best time for early intervention. The earlier interceptive orthodontics is initiated, the greater the potential for achieving a naturally balanced and healthy smile.
Post Treatment Care
Post-treatment care plays a vital role in maintaining the progress achieved after interceptive orthodontic treatment. Regular follow-up visits with our orthodontic team will ensure that your child's smile continues to develop correctly. Your child may receive oral appliances or retainers to maintain the results achieved during the treatment. Encouraging good oral hygiene habits and regular dental check-ups will help sustain the long-term benefits of interceptive orthodontics and support your child's dental health journey.
