  3. Early Interceptive Treatment

Early interceptive treatment, also known as Phase I orthodontics, usually carried out between the ages of 6 and 10. During this stage, appliances are used to guide jaw development and control how teeth erupt. This approach helps minimize the risk of more serious bite problems, ensures adequate space for incoming permanent teeth, lowers the chance of injury to protruding teeth, and supports better facial balance.

Learning outcomes

Recognizing the when, why, and how of early interceptive treatment is key to maximizing its benefits for a child. It also helps general dentists determine the right time to refer to a specialist, enabling early intervention that can prevent or minimize complications and lead to the best possible outcomes.
