s 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
malocclusion in their young patients may then refer them
to the orthodontist for interceptive procedures. It is not
necessary for all of the permanent teeth 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 interceptive 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 earlier treatment. In a growing patient, the orthodontist may be
able to redirect facial growth to help correct jaw alignment or teeth positions.
Of course, routine dental care and regular prophylaxis (dental cleanings) by the
general dentists will help ensure best results from the orthodontic specialist.
Once orthodontic therapy begins, the patient is expected to continue to see the
family dentist for regular check ups and routine care.
