Early Intervention Treatment
Understanding Early Intervention
Why Early Intervention Matters:
Orthodontic issues, if left unaddressed, can worsen over time and lead to more complex problems in adulthood. Early intervention allows Dr. Basel Mofti to identify and treat these issues during the developmental stages, often making the treatment process more straightforward and effective.
Common Orthodontic Issues in Childhood:
Certain orthodontic issues are more effectively treated in childhood, including:
Crowded Teeth: When there isn’t enough space for teeth to properly align.
Crossbite or Overbite: Misalignment of the upper and lower jaws.
Thumb Sucking or Pacifier Use: Habits that can affect jaw development.
Orthodontic Appliances for Early Intervention:
Dr. Basel Mofti employs a variety of orthodontic appliances designed specifically for early intervention. These may include:
Palatal Expanders: Used to widen the upper jaw to create space for incoming adult teeth.
Space Maintainers: Preserving space for adult teeth in case of premature loss of baby teeth.
Orthodontic Braces: Traditional braces can be effective in addressing various alignment issues in children.
