Nurturing healthy smiles with early orthodontics

At My E20 Dentist in London, our specialist orthodontist offers early intervention treatment for children. This gently guides the growth of young teeth and jaws gently, ensuring their smile develops beautifully into adulthood.

  • Lessens future orthodontic needs
  • Boost your child's self-esteem
  • Preventative approach to long-term oral health

What is interceptive orthodontic treatment?

Interceptive orthodontic treatment is all about spotting and correcting potential bite issues before they become big problems. This early approach, sometimes called early orthodontic or preventative treatment, can be suitable for children aged 4 to 11 whose jawbones are still growing.

By getting a jumpstart on things, our paediatric dentist and specialist orthodontist here at My E20 can help steer that growth in the right direction and prevent misaligned bites. And starting early can mean less intensive treatment when your child is older, giving them a head start on their smile journey.

Does my child need early orthodontics?

At your child's twice-yearly dental visits, our friendly paediatric dentists keep a close eye on their teeth and bite. Checking for any alignment issues is just part of the routine, and if we spot something that needs attention, we'll let you know and talk you through the next steps.

Sometimes, we might just keep an eye on things to see how they progress as your child grows. In some cases, it may be decided that they would benefit from early intervention orthodontics to correct issues such as misaligned teeth or jaws, overcrowding, thumb sucking habits, or early loss of baby teeth. Early intervention can address these concerns while your little one’s jaw is still developing, potentially preventing more severe problems later on.

The advantages of early orthodontics for children

Benefits of interceptive orthodontic treatment can include:

Makes sure there's enough room for grown-up teeth to come in nicely
Helps prevent those ‘ouch’ moments from teeth sticking out too far
Guides jaw growth gently for a balanced face
Keeps the dentist from needing to pull teeth out
Makes sure your child’s bite and jaw grow just right
