Early Orthodontic Treatment - Part 1

Approximately one in four children (aged between 7 and 11 ) who present to your office, have an orthodontic problem that would benefit with early orthodontic treatment or intervention. By providing orthodontic treatment early for the correct patient in many cases can:

• Reduce the need for extractions in the future
• Reduce the severity of the malocclusion, allowing an easier and shorter orthodontic approach in the permanent dentition
• Correct functional problems that if left untreated may cause TMD issues and even require orthognathic surgery in the future
• Help to improve the final aesthetic outcome
• Improve the patient's airways
• Provide improved social confidence

In this 2 part webinar, we will be discussing the essential knowledge a general dentist needs to identify and help manage the most common problems that a young child may present with in their practice.
