      Early Interceptive Orthodontics

      Early Interceptive Orthodontics

      Guiding Healthy Smiles from the Start

      Early interceptive orthodontics focuses on diagnosing and treating developing orthodontic issues in children and preteens—before all the permanent teeth have come in. At Harmony, our experienced orthodontists work closely with families to identify problems early and guide your child’s dental growth with minimal, age-appropriate intervention.

      Why Start Early?

      By addressing issues such as crowding, crossbite, jaw misalignment, or habits like thumb sucking at a young age (usually between ages 6–10), we can:

      • Reduce or even eliminate the need for future braces
      • Create space for erupting permanent teeth
      • Improve facial growth and jaw alignment
      • Prevent more complex, costly orthodontic treatments later

      Orthodontic Check-up Recommended by Age 7

      According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this stage, a mix of baby and permanent teeth allows our orthodontists at Harmony to spot subtle problems with jaw growth, bite alignment, and tooth eruption—even if everything looks fine on the outside.

      Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it gives our orthodontists at Harmony the chance to:

      • Monitor your child’s development
      • Intervene at the right time, if needed
      • Prevent serious issues from developing later
