Interceptive orthodontics, often referred to as early treatment, is designed for younger children who are still developing their jaw and bite. By identifying potential concerns early, this stage of care aims to guide jaw growth, support proper eruption of permanent teeth, and help prevent issues from becoming more severe.
Treatment options in this phase often include short-term appliances such as expanders, space maintainers, or removable plates. These are usually worn for a few months and are carefully timed to match the child’s growth phase.
Early treatment at Clear Braces Orthodontics may reduce or even eliminate the need for future extractions, extensive braces, or jaw surgery.
A full dental assessment will determine whether early intervention is suitable. If it’s not necessary yet, we’ll place your child on a recall program to monitor growth and begin treatment at the right time.
Most orthodontic treatments cost between $4,000 and $10,000, depending on the type and complexity.
