Understanding Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment, also known as interceptive orthodontics, is a proactive approach designed to address dental issues before they fully develop. This type of treatment is typically recommended for children between the ages of 6 and 10 to correct or guide jaw growth and create space for erupting teeth. Early intervention can significantly reduce the complexity and duration of later orthodontic procedures.
Advantages of Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits:
- Prevents more severe dental problems: Identifying and addressing issues early can prevent more complicated treatments later on.
- Enhances facial symmetry: Proper guidance of jaw growth contributes to balanced facial features.
- Improves oral function: Correcting bite issues early can enhance chewing and speaking abilities.
- Aids in permanent teeth alignment: Creating proper space for incoming permanent teeth reduces the likelihood of crowding.
- Supports improved airway development: Guiding jaw growth early can help widen the palate and open the airway, promoting better breathing, reducing mouth breathing and supporting healthier sleep patterns.
- Boosts self-esteem: A healthy smile can increase a child's confidence during their formative years.
The Early Orthodontic Treatment Process
The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Kimberly Gronberg and Dr. Charlene Sugay. During this initial consultation, they will assess your child's oral health and determine if early intervention is necessary. If treatment is recommended, it may involve using removable or fixed appliances such as expanders or partial braces to correct specific issues.
