Have you ever looked at your child's teeth and thought, "Oh no, they're crooked! Should I do something about it?"

This is where Interceptive Orthodontics comes into play. It's a proactive approach to dental care for children, aiming to correct teeth and jaw issues before adult teeth emerge.

Interceptive Orthodontics involves treatments starting as early as age 7. The goal isn't to create a perfect smile immediately but to guide growth, create space, and address small issues before they escalate. It's about laying a strong foundation for a beautiful and functional bite.

Signs to Watch For:
Teeth growing in unusual directions or lacking space are clear indicators.

However, underbites, overbites, crossbites, thumb sucking beyond age five, or favoring one side for chewing are subtler signs. If you're uncertain, don't hesitate to seek professional advice.

Interceptive Orthodontics is a valuable tool to future-proof your child's dental health. By addressing issues early, you can help build a strong foundation for their future smile.

Book an appointment with your orthodontist to explore the best options for your child.
