In the past, children are to begin orthodontic treatment when they reach age 12 to 14 years since all the permanent teeth have erupted by this time. Most dentists extract a tooth to correct bite problem or teeth crowding. However, according to the American Academy of Orthodontics, all children should be brought to the dentist for proper orthodontic assessment by age 7 when the first set of permanent molars had erupted.
Interceptive orthodontics is a phased type of orthodontics, which is the practice of extracting malocclusions once they are detected in an attempt to avoid adult malocclusion. Tooth growth is used to address developmental occlusion problems. This is done in two situations by retaining deciduous teeth, and where there is malocclusion in the deciduous teeth and extracting these teeth can allow the patient to correct itself during the growth phase.
Guide jaw growth to create facial symmetry Lower the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth Correct harmful oral habits Improve appearance and self-esteem Guide permanent teeth into a more favourable position Improve the way lips meet Create room for crowded, erupting teeth Preserving space for un-erupted teeth Reducing the need for tooth removal Reducing treatment time.
Interceptive orthodontics improves malocclusions aside from improving the child's appearance. Malocclusions occur due to a tooth or jaw misalignment. It affects the way a child chews, smiles, cleans his teeth or even how he feels about his smile. Crowded teeth can make it difficult to brush and floss the teeth. This can later on lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease. Meanwhile, protruding teeth are prone to accidental chipping.
