The Benefits of Early Treatment and Interceptive Orthodontics
When children see the orthodontist at an early age, the growth of the jaw can be monitored and guided to promote proper teeth alignment while avoiding future problems. Even if your child doesn’t need treatment yet, early visits help the Orthodontist become familiar with your child, making it easier to monitor and catch issues early.
Overall early treatment provides a host of benefits including helping your child become familiar with the orthodontist, which means if problems arise, your child is more confident to address them. The following are just some of the benefits of early orthodontic treatments:

Some Signs Your Child May Require Orthodontic Treatment
Children and teenagers respond well to treatment and children are more accepting of orthodontics thanks to social media.
The following are some signs that may indicate your child needs orthodontic treatment:
Many orthodontists agree that early treatment or intervention is ideal to correct problems, because during the teen years the jaw starts to grow less and some problems become more difficult to correct.
Orthodontics after this age may require more extensive treatments including tooth extractions or jaw surgery.
