Early Orthodontic Treatment In Adelaide

Early Orthodontic

Treatment In Adelaide

At Adelaide Orthodontists, we provide early orthodontic treatment in Adelaide to help guide jaw development and identify orthodontic concerns before they become more complex. Also known as interceptive orthodontics, early treatment focuses on children between the ages of 7 and 11 while the jaw and facial structures are still developing. By identifying developing orthodontic issues early, treatment can often improve jaw growth, guide tooth eruption and reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later in life. Our specialist orthodontists recommend children receive an orthodontic assessment around the age of 7 or 8 — even if there are no obvious signs of concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Australian Society of Orthodontists recommends children receive their first orthodontic assessment around the age of 7. Early assessment allows orthodontists to identify developing concerns before they become more complex.

No. Many children may simply require monitoring as they grow. Early orthodontic treatment is only recommended when there are signs that intervention may improve jaw development, bite function or tooth alignment.

Interceptive orthodontics refers to early orthodontic treatment used to guide jaw growth, tooth eruption and bite development while a child is still growing.

In some cases, early treatment can reduce the severity of future orthodontic problems and simplify later treatment. However, some children may still require braces during their teenage years to achieve final alignment.

Early orthodontic treatment can help guide jaw growth, create space for adult teeth, improve bite function, reduce crowding and minimise the need for more complex treatment later in life.
