An initial orthodontic assessment is recommended around the age of 7
At this stage, certain growth or dental positioning anomalies can already be detected.
Interceptive orthodontics makes it possible to act at an early stage in order to:
- support the development of the jaws
- prevent a lack of space for permanent teeth
- correct crossbites or functional disorders
- reduce the risk of dental trauma
- facilitate future treatments.
Intervening at the right time often helps to avoid more complex treatments during adolescence.
Anticipating to better correct orthodontic problems
Early treatment primarily aims to prevent the development of more significant imbalances. It helps in particular to:
- promote harmonious jaw growth and limit extractions,
- reduce the duration and intensity of later treatments,
- correct certain discrepancies before the end of growth,
- avoid issues related to premature loss of baby teeth,
- improve the functional balance of the jaws.
