What it is
What is interceptive orthodontic treatment?
Interceptive orthodontic treatment is all about spotting and correcting potential bite issues before they become big problems. This early approach, sometimes called early orthodontic or preventative treatment, can be suitable for children aged 4 to 11 whose jawbones are still growing.
By getting a jumpstart on things, our paediatric dentist and specialist orthodontist here at My E20 can help steer that growth in the right direction and prevent misaligned bites. And starting early can mean less intensive treatment when your child is older, giving them a head start on their smile journey.
Knowing when
Does my child need early orthodontics?
At your child’s twice-yearly dental visits, our friendly paediatric dentists keep a close eye on their teeth and bite. Checking for any alignment issues is just part of the routine, and if we spot something that needs attention, we’ll let you know and talk you through the next steps.
Sometimes, we might just keep an eye on things to see how they progress as your child grows. In some cases, it may be decided that they would benefit from early intervention orthodontics to correct issues such as misaligned teeth or jaws, overcrowding, thumb sucking habits, or early loss of baby teeth. Early intervention can address these concerns while your little one’s jaw is still developing, potentially preventing more severe problems later on.
