What is Early Interceptive or Phase I Orthodontic Treatment?
Early interceptive orthodontic treatment involves addressing orthodontic issues in children at a younger age, typically between the ages of 7 and 11. This proactive approach allows us to intervene early, guiding the growth and development of the teeth and jaw to prevent more serious issues from arising later on. The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends that children should get check up with their orthodontist by age 7.
How Can it Help?
- Preventive Intervention: By addressing orthodontic issues early, we can often prevent more severe problems from developing, reducing the need for extensive treatment in the future.
- Guided Growth: Early treatment allows us to guide the growth of your child’s teeth and jaw, promoting proper alignment and reducing the likelihood of overcrowding or spacing issues.
- Improved Bite: Correcting bite problems early on can prevent issues such as difficulty chewing, speaking, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders in the future.
- Boosted Confidence: A healthy, properly aligned smile can have a significant impact on your child’s confidence and self-esteem, setting them up for success in social and academic settings.
At Prestige Orthodontics, our expert team is dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate care for each patient. We believe that every child deserves a healthy, confident smile, and we’re here to help make that a reality.
