Interceptive orthodontics is a vital component of paediatric dentistry, emphasizing early detection and timely intervention of developing occlusal and skeletal abnormalities in children. Unlike corrective orthodontics-which deals with established malocclusions in adolescence or adulthood-interceptive orthodontics aims to identify potential problems during the mixed dentition phase (ages 6-10) and guide the developing dentition and jaws into a more favorable position.In paediatric dentistry, the role of interceptive orthodontics is preventive and developmental. It works hand-in-hand with growth patterns and dental development, making it particularly effective when implemented early.
