StraightSmile Solutions Phase 1 Interceptive Course
Phase 1 Interceptive Orthodontics focuses on early correction of bite, teeth alignment, airway, and oral habits in children aged 6-10. Lasting 6-18 months, it lays the foundation for a smoother, less invasive Phase 2 treatment in adolescence, reducing risks like impacted canines, jaw surgery, or extractions. Using functional appliances, braces, or clear aligners, it addresses overjet, overbite, crossbites, deep bites, open bites, airway issues, and oral habits, ensuring healthier dental development. This course complements Dr. Wong’s Early Interceptive Postural Orthodontics program and is ideal for general and pediatric dentists new to orthodontics. 13 hour course (on-demand but no CE).
Here’s a 20 minute interview with Dr. Wilson on Interceptive Orthodontics:
