What Is Early Orthodontic Intervention?

Also known as Phase I Orthodontics, early orthodontic intervention focuses on treating alignment and jaw growth issues in children before all their permanent teeth come in. These proactive treatments help:
  • Encourage healthy jaw development
  • Create space to prevent future crowding
  • Protect front teeth from potential injury
  • Address habits like thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting
  • Reduce the need for complex orthodontic treatment later

When Should My Child Be Evaluated?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, a mix of baby and permanent teeth allows for better insight into potential alignment and bite concerns.
You may want to schedule an orthodontic evaluation if your child shows signs such as:
  • Difficulty biting or chewing
  • Mouth breathing or snoring during sleep
  • Crowded, widely spaced, or protruding teeth
  • Early or delayed loss of baby teeth
  • Jaw shifting, clicking, or popping
  • Speech challenges

Our Early Orthodontic Treatment Options

At Vacaville Dental Group, we take a conservative, evidence-based approach to early care. We only recommend treatment when it will clearly benefit your child’s long-term oral health. Depending on your child’s needs, we may recommend:
  • Palatal expanders to guide proper jaw width
  • Partial braces or clear aligners for minor corrections
  • Space maintainers to hold room for incoming permanent teeth
  • Habit-breaking appliances for thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting
  • Growth monitoring to plan timely, future interventions

Benefits of Early Orthodontic Intervention

  • Promotes balanced facial and jaw growth
  • Lowers the likelihood of needing extractions or surgery later
  • Protects teeth from trauma or misalignment
  • Improves chewing, speech, and airway function
  • Builds a confident smile from a young age

Don’t Let Your Dental Benefits Go to Waste: Use Them Before Year-End

If you have dental insurance, chances are you're paying for benefits that are designed to help keep your smile healthy. Unfortunately, many patients don't realize that these benefits often reset at the end of the plan year — meaning any unused coverage is lost. At Vacaville Dental Group, we want to make sure you get the most out of the plan you're already paying for by scheduling your preventive care and necessary treatments before your benefits expire.
