Aronson Orthodontics proudly serves local families from Oxford, CT, and makes looking after the health and function of your child's smile both straightforward and pleasant. An early visit to the orthodontist can ensure that your child’s smile grows as beautifully and healthily as possible.
What is Early Orthodontic Treatment?
Early orthodontic treatment, also known as interceptive orthodontics, typically occurs when a child is between the ages of 7 and 10. It is called interceptive because this is an age when your child’s teeth and jaws are still developing, making it an ideal time to identify and "intercept" potential issues before they become more complicated. Dr. Ross Aronson is the leading board certified orthodontist serving Oxford, CT, and an early orthodontic evaluation with him can help identify problems such as crowding, crossbites, and jaw misalignments, allowing for timely intervention to avoid more serious concerns down the road.
The Benefits of Interceptive Treatment
- Prevents Future Dental Issues: Early orthodontic treatment can address issues such as misaligned bites, overcrowding, and jaw growth discrepancies before they become severe. By intercepting these problems early, Dr. Aronson can guide the growth of the jaw and permanent teeth, often avoiding the need for more invasive treatments later in life.
- Simplifies Later Treatments: In some cases, interceptive treatment can reduce or eliminate the need for braces or other orthodontic appliances in the future. For instance, addressing crowding early may prevent the need for tooth extractions or jaw surgery down the line.
- Promotes Proper Oral Development: Early treatment can ensure that your child’s teeth and jaws develop in harmony. This not only contributes to a beautiful smile but also promotes proper chewing, speaking, and breathing.
- Boosts Self-Confidence: A healthy, straight smile can do wonders for your child’s self-esteem. Early orthodontic treatment can prevent the embarrassment or discomfort associated with dental issues, allowing your child to smile with confidence throughout crucial developmental years.
