Interceptive treatment is early treatment in children that “intercepts” potential problems during growth and development. Most interceptive treatment takes place during the transition from baby to adult teeth. Sometimes this can be a simple single tooth crossbite or could be as involved as growth modification. Dr. Walker takes a conservative approach to orthodontic treatment, including interceptive treatment. For parents, it’s not always easy to know if your child may need orthodontic treatment, so please don’t hesitate to contact Dakota Orthodontics to schedule a complimentary orthodontic evaluation.
