What Are The Advantages of Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment?
Some of the most direct results of interceptive treatment are:
• Creating room for crowded, erupting teeth
• Creating facial symmetry through influencing jaw growth
• Reducing the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth
• Preserving space for un-erupted teeth
• Reducing the need for tooth removal • Reducing treatment time with braces
Why Should Malocclusions Be Treated?
Research from studies show that untreated malocclusions can result in a variety of problems:
• Crowded teeth are more difficult to properly brush and floss, which may contribute to tooth decay and/or gum disease
• Protruding teeth are more susceptible to accidental chipping
• Crossbites can result in unfavorable growth and uneven tooth wear
• Open bites can result in tongue-thrusting habits and speech impediments
• Ultimately, orthodontics makes more than a pretty smile – it creates a healthier you.
