Interceptive Orthodontics

How can interceptive orthodontics help your child?

The main goal of interceptive orthodontic treatment is guiding the growth and development of the jaws at an early stage. This type of treatment can prevent/minimize extensive treatments later on.

This will aid in caries prevention.

However, based on Dr. Ramirez’s clinical experience, he recommends bringing your baby for an exam as soon as possible, ideally right after birth.

The goal is to have your child visit the dentist for a well baby check up before there is an issue with their teeth and/or growth and development of the jaws. In most cases, a dental exam will let your child’s dentist catch small problems early.

The benefits of interceptive orthodontics are:

To improve the oral functions
To align crooked teeth
To correct crossbites
To guide permanent teeth in a favourable position
To correct oral habits such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, etc.
To improve esthetics
To reduce the risk of more complicated treatments in the future.

Myofunctional Therapy

Myofunctional therapy is a program of specific exercises that target the facial and oral muscles used to chew and swallow.
These exercises strengthen the tongue and help to correct improper function of the facial and oral muscles.
The main goals of myofunctional therapy is to restore nasal breathing, correct swallowing, and correct placement of tongue at rest.
