Read on to learn more about the benefits of interceptive pediatric appliances and why Dr. Goettsche recommends them for young patients.

Understanding Interceptive Pediatric Appliances: Promoting Healthy Dental Development

Interceptive pediatric appliances are custom-made oral devices designed to address dental and skeletal irregularities in children. They are used to intercept and correct orthodontic issues before they become more severe and require more extensive treatment later in life. These appliances work by guiding proper dental and jawbone alignment, facilitating optimal oral development, and preventing potential complications.

Benefits of Interceptive Pediatric Appliances at 208 Dental:

• Early Intervention: By addressing orthodontic issues at an early age, interceptive pediatric appliances can help guide dental and facial development, reducing the need for more invasive procedures in the future. They can correct problems such as crowded teeth, crossbites, overbites, and underbites before they worsen.
• Improved Oral Health: Interceptive orthodontic treatment promotes better oral hygiene and reduces the risk of dental issues, such as tooth decay and gum disease. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, allowing children to maintain good oral health habits and enjoy a healthier smile.
• Enhanced Facial Aesthetics: Interceptive pediatric appliances can positively influence the growth and development of the jaw and facial structures. By guiding proper alignment, these appliances can contribute to improved facial aesthetics, including a balanced profile and harmonious facial features.
