Preventive orthodontics focuses on early interventions to prevent the malocclusions and other dental issues before they become more complex and require extensive treatment. By emphasizing habits such as proper oral hygiene, dietary practices, and early orthodontic evaluations, we can mitigate the need of invasive procedures. This approach not only saves time and resources but also minimizes potential discomfort for patients.Similarly, interceptive orthodontics involves timely intervention during the growth and development of a child’s dentition. By addressing emerging problems like overcrowding, crossbites, or protrusions, we can guide facial growth and create a more harmonious relationship between the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. This not only improves aesthetic outcomes but also contributes to long-term dental health.Through this book, we aim to spread awareness among dental professionals, educators, and the general public about the importance of these preventive and interceptive measures, by educating both current and future practitioners. We hope to foster a culture of proactive dental care that prioritizes patient health and well-being.
