Understanding Phase-One Orthodontics

Phase-one orthodontics is tailored for young children, typically between the ages of six and ten, aiming to correct issues before they develop into more complex problems. This early intervention can involve guiding the growth of the jaw, addressing bite issues and creating space for the proper eruption of permanent teeth. It is a vital step in ensuring that your child’s teeth and jaws develop correctly, potentially minimizing the need for more extensive orthodontic work later on.

What to Expect

Our orthodontist will conduct a thorough assessment of your child’s oral health to identify existing or potential challenges. The personalized treatment plan we devise may incorporate various appliances, such as braces or palatal expanders, to address the specific needs of your child. Throughout this entire process, our committed team will be available to provide assistance, share knowledge and address any questions you might have, ensuring a smooth and supportive experience.
