What Is Interceptive Orthodontics?

Phase I orthodontic treatment is also referred to as interceptive orthodontics that aims at treating the problem of aligned teeth early on to avoid future complications. The orthodontic treatment is usually recommended for children aged 6-10 years, when all their permanent teeth have not yet developed.
At this stage, our qualified dental personnel will check the progress of the child’s dental development and make proactive efforts to maintain the teeth and jaws in the proper way. The aim is to create space for incoming teeth, guide the jaw development and reduce the necessity of extensive orthodontic treatment in the future.

  • Overlapping or crowded teeth
  • Early or delayed loss baby teeth .
  • Difficulty chewing or biting.

  • Crossbites, overbites or underbites.
