For patients who have clear indications for early intervention, early treatment presents many benefits:
-Preserve or gain space for erupting permanent teeth
-Reduce likelihood of impacted permanent teeth
-Simplify and/or shorten treatment time for later corrective orthodontics
-Lower risk of trauma to protruded upper teeth
-Correct harmful oral habits
-Improve aesthetics and self-esteem
-Harmonize width of dental arches
-Influence jaw growth in a positive manner
We stress a non-extraction approach to treatment. Whenever possible we try to avoid extraction of permanent teeth. One way of avoiding extraction of permanent teeth is early treatment.
