Pour qui est l’orthodontie interceptive?

Orthodontics for children 3 years or older

Since 2002, the Haute Autorité de santé has recommended that children receive dental consultations from a practitioner before reaching 6 years of age.

However, only 9% of orthodontic treatments are begun before the age of 9.

If your child shows a disposition towards thumb sucking (or their pacifier), mouth breathing, placing their tongue between their teeth while swallowing, restless sleep, waking up sweating during the night, fatigue during the day, or difficulties at school- they could be suffering from conditions that can cause teeth misalignment and poor facial development.

Therefore, it's important to address these oral-facial conditions at the earliest age possible.

Does my child suffer from oral-facial conditions?

Together, we can catch tooth and jaw developmental issues in time!

Children frequently exhibit the following oral-facial conditions:

Infant Swallowing

Does your child put or push their tongue in between their teeth while swallowing?

Mouth Breathing

Does your child have a strong disposition towards mouth breathing?

Thumb/Pacifier Dependency

Is your child older than 12 months and still continues to suck their thumb/pacifier?

Outside of children’s behavioral tendencies, environmental factors such as air pollution, diet, and in particular soft foods also contribute to conditions that hinder healthy facial development.

This not only carries consequences for their oral health and jaws, but can also affect the quality of their sleep and their overall general health.
