Catching Problems Early
Interceptive orthodontics aims to correct developing problems in the jaw and teeth while the child is still growing. This proactive approach can make future treatment shorter and less invasive.
Our Treatments
-
1. Crossbite Correction:
Expanding the upper jaw to ensure it fits properly over the lower jaw, preventing asymmetrical growth.
-
2. Skeletal Malocclusion:
Using functional appliances to guide the forward or backward growth of the jaw bones.
-
3. Space Regaining:
If a baby tooth is lost early and space is lost, we regain it to allow the permanent tooth to erupt.
-
4. Space Maintenance:
Holding space open for permanent teeth after the premature loss of a primary tooth.
