Interceptive orthodontics

Pediatric dentistry focuses on the dental care of children.

It requires specific skills, patience, and a gentle approach to ensure that the child feels comfortable and at ease.

Fun and engaging communication tools help build trust with young patients, allowing us to provide care in the best possible conditions.

Children’s dental care emphasizes prevention, including fluoride treatments and early detection of cavities, and, when necessary, the treatment of dental decay.

Early care aims to create a healthy and functional oral environment before all permanent teeth have erupted.

From early childhood, screening for potential jaw growth issues, developing dental misalignments, functional problems (such as swallowing, speech, and breathing), or harmful habits (like thumb-sucking or lip-thrusting) allows us to address these issues before they become significant and prevents them from becoming long-term problems.

Interceptive orthodontics involves correcting these issues with simple, gentle methods that take advantage of the child’s natural bone growth.

Alignment problems tend to worsen over time, making correction more difficult. Early interceptive treatment improves the effectiveness and simplicity of any future orthodontic care.
