Dr. Dieska suggests interceptive orthopedics to parents of some of his young patients..
When done at an early age (some children as early as age 5), this treatment can help reshape the child's jaw, redirect arch growth, and reduce the length of time that a child actually wears braces. The treatment is considered interceptive, because it can help intercept or stop potential problems such as tooth extraction, bite related headaches, jaw pain, earache, mouth breathing, TMJ, and sleep apnea.
We believe that a key factor in successfully identifying and treating problems is early interception, so schedule your ortho check up, as early as possible.
