Norman Interceptive Orthodontics
Gentle, early care for lifelong healthy smiles
Setting the foundation for a beautiful, healthy smile
Your child’s smile is constantly growing and changing, and early intervention can help it develop in the best possible way.
At Restore Smiles, we offer Norman interceptive orthodontics, a proactive, gentle approach to guiding jaw and teeth development while your child is still growing. By addressing alignment and airway concerns early, we can help prevent future complications, reduce the need for extensive orthodontic work, and support better breathing and sleep.
Gentle, holistic orthodontic treatments
- Palatal Expansion: A comfortable, non-invasive way to widen the upper jaw, creating space for proper tooth alignment and improved airflow.
- Myofunctional Appliances: Custom devices that encourage healthy oral habits, like proper tongue posture and nasal breathing, which promote natural jaw development.
- Early Bite Correction: Guiding teeth and jaw alignment early to prevent more complex issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
- Airway & Sleep Assessments: Evaluating jaw and airway development to address breathing concerns, helping your child sleep better and feel more energized.
Interceptive Orthodontics FAQs
What is interceptive orthodontics, and how is it different from traditional braces?
Interceptive orthodontics is an early, proactive approach to guiding jaw and tooth development in children while they are still growing. Unlike traditional braces, which correct alignment issues after they’ve developed, interceptive treatments help prevent severe misalignment, reduce the need for extractions, and improve breathing and facial development.
How do I know if my child needs early orthodontic treatment?
Signs your child may benefit from interceptive orthodontics include:
- Crowded or misaligned baby teeth
- Mouth breathing or snoring
- Speech difficulties or tongue thrusting
- Difficulty chewing or biting properly
- A receding or protruding jaw
If you’re unsure, Dr. Audrey offers comprehensive evaluations to determine if early treatment is the right choice for your child.
Is interceptive orthodontics painful for my child?
Not at all! Our treatments are gentle, non-invasive, and designed to work with your child’s natural growth. Most children adapt quickly and experience little to no discomfort throughout treatment.
