Mak i ng an Interception"
As children grow and mature, it may become obvious
that their teeth are not developing into normal positions and
proper relationships with the rest of the mouth. Dentists
who are aware of the potential for mal-occlusion in their •
young patients may then refer them to the orthodontist for
interceptive procedures. It is not necessary for all of their
permanent to be erupted. Although it may not be time

for orthodontic intervention, it is beneficial to be able to

have recorded a baseline clinical exam so that in the future,
growth direction and dental development can be recorded, so that the child can be placed
on a recall program for ideal treatment.
Early or interception treatment may be recommended during early development time
in a child's life, which can often prevent or lessen major problems from occurring later
on. If a parent suspects a problem developing in their child's mouth, they should set up
a consultation with an orthodontist directly, as a referral is not necessary. The American
Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic exam, by an orthodontist, at
age 9 or 10, or even earlier if a problem is suspected. The results of orthodontic care are
often enhanced by early treatment. In a growing patient, the orthodontist may be able to
redirect facial growth to help correct jaw alignment or teeth position.
Of course, routine dental care and regular prophylaxis (dental cleanings) by general
dentists will help ensure the best results from an orthodontic specialist. Once orthodontic
therapy begins, - the patient is expected to continue to see the family dentist for regular
check ups and routine care.
