Space Maintainers
Used when baby teeth are lost early to preserve space for permanent teeth.
Early orthodontic care can play a crucial role in guiding the proper growth and development of a child’s teeth and jaws. At Kinder Smiles Dental Clinic in Wakad, Pune, we provide specialized Interceptive Orthodontics treatments designed to identify and correct developing orthodontic problems before they become more severe.
Interceptive Orthodontics, also known as Phase 1 Orthodontic Treatment, focuses on recognizing and treating dental and jaw alignment issues during childhood while the jaws are still growing. Early intervention can reduce the need for extensive orthodontic treatment later and help create a healthy foundation for permanent teeth.
Interceptive Orthodontics is a preventive and corrective orthodontic approach used in children, typically between the ages of 6 and 12 years. During this stage, a child has a mix of primary (baby) teeth and permanent teeth.
The goal of interceptive orthodontic treatment is to identify developing dental and skeletal issues and guide proper jaw growth, tooth eruption, and bite development. Early treatment can significantly improve oral health, facial development, and overall dental function.
At Kinder Smiles Dental Clinic, Wakad, our pediatric dental and orthodontic team carefully evaluates each child’s dental growth pattern and recommends personalized treatment when necessary.
Early treatment helps direct jaw development and creates adequate space for permanent teeth.
Many severe orthodontic issues can be minimized or prevented with timely intervention.
Balanced jaw growth contributes to better facial symmetry and appearance.
Thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and mouth breathing can negatively affect dental development. Interceptive treatment helps manage these habits.
A well-aligned bite supports proper chewing, speaking, and oral function.
Correcting visible dental issues early can improve a child's self-esteem and social confidence.
