Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment for Children in Brynteg
Space maintainers hold open the gap left by a prematurely lost baby tooth, preventing neighbouring teeth from drifting in before the adult tooth erupts.
Palate expanders gradually widen a narrow upper arch, and work best while the midpalatal suture is still open (usually up to age 12-14) — correcting a posterior crossbite and freeing up arch space in the process.
Functional appliances steer jaw growth for children whose lower jaw sits well behind the upper one, working best during the pubertal growth spurt around age 10-13 — often shrinking a large overjet and making any later fixed-brace phase more straightforward.
Monitoring is actually the most likely outcome of an early assessment — an annual review until active treatment makes sense, once most of the adult teeth are through.
