What Is Preventive Orthodontics?

Preventive orthodontics—also called interceptive orthodontics—is early evaluation (usually between ages 6 and 10) aimed at identifying and correcting emerging bite or alignment issues before they worsen. By guiding jaw and tooth development at this crucial stage, we can significantly reduce the duration and complexity of future treatments while promoting optimal facial development.

Who Needs Early Orthodontic Care?

Children Ages 6-10: Ideal timing when permanent teeth begin erupting and jaw growth is most active.\n\nCrowding Issues: When incoming permanent teeth don't have adequate space to erupt properly.\n\nBite Problems: Cross-bites, deep bites, or jaw discrepancies that can worsen without intervention.
