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.
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.

Young smiles, in specialist hands
Interceptive orthodontic treatment at My E20 Dentist is led by Dr Andreea Negulescu, our specialist orthodontist. With her own private specialist practice in Bournemouth and years of dedicated orthodontic experience, she travels to London to bring that same level of care to our younger patients. The reason so many families travel to see us, from Stratford and East Village to Forest Gate, Hackney, Leyton, Wanstead, East Ham, Plaistow and Canary Wharf, is the difference a true specialist makes.
Andreea loves being an Orthodontist. She has her own private specialist practice in Bournemouth called Dorset orthodontics. She travels to London to different private practices providing her specialist knowledge in straightening teeth.
Her education in Dentistry and Orthodontics has provided her with a strong foundation of knowledge and experience. She is a member of several professional associations that provide her with opportunities for continuing education.
By regularly participating in continuing education, she is able to stay current on the latest technology and orthodontic treatments. Her patients deserve the best!
In her words "I couldn't ask for a better job or for a better group of people to be sharing their smiles with me. I look forward to meeting you!".
