What is Interceptive Orthodontics?
Interceptive Orthodontics involves early intervention to address dental and skeletal irregularities in children. This phase of orthodontic treatment is usually recommended for children between the ages of 6 and 10 when their jaws are still growing, and permanent teeth are beginning to emerge. By identifying and treating issues early, we can prevent more severe problems from developing as your child grows.
