Interceptive Orthodontics – a Boon for the Pediatric Dentistry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interceptive orthodontics involves procedures to restore a normal occlusion once a malocclusion has started to develop. Early recognition of developing malocclusions and the potential for uncomplicated orthodontic treatment procedures can minimize or eliminate future costly treatment1. Creating a normal occlusal relationship and a balanced neuromuscular environment at an early age can help normal growth of the facial skeleton in an otherwise healthy child2. Removal of supernumerary teeth falls under preventive as well as interceptive orthodontics procedures, as it eliminates the associated complications like prevention or delay of eruption of associated permanent teeth. This procedure also corrects mid-line diastema, eliminates crowding and ectopic eruption of the permanent teeth. The following case report presents treatment of a rotated incisor of a patient, with erupted two supernumerary teeth in the midline using unconventional technique of sectional arch wiring.

Introduction Mesial drifting of molar teeth in maxillary arch is corrected by movement of the molars distally. In addition to traditional distal movement techniques, such as extraoral force application and removable appliances, various intra-arch devices have been introduced since 1980s.
