Interceptive Orthodontics: Acting Early to Prevent
Interceptive orthodontics takes place during the mixed dentition phase, between ages 6 and 10. The goal is to correct growth problems before they worsen. Guiding jaw growth is simpler in children.
Problems that can be detected early include a narrow palate, jaw misalignment, persistent thumb sucking, mouth breathing and premature loss of baby teeth.
