Early Orthodontic Treatment

Phase one orthodontic care, sometimes called early orthodontic treatment, refers to the interceptive phase of orthodontic treatment for children.

In Phase One Orthodontic Treatment, our primary goal is to catch and fix specific orthodontic issues early on before they become trickier to handle. At the same time, we want to guide the natural growth and development of your child’s jaw and facial bones, especially as their permanent teeth are coming in. It’s like giving their smile a head start for a lifetime of confidence!

We understand that starting orthodontic treatment at a young age can be a significant decision for parents. That's why we are dedicated to creating a supportive and child-friendly environment, where your child can feel comfortable and relaxed throughout their orthodontic journey. Take the proactive step towards your child's dental health. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

The main objectives of Phase One orthodontic treatment are:

• Creating Space: Addressing crowding issues to ensure there's enough room for permanent teeth to emerge correctly.
• Correcting Bite Issues: Fixing problems such as underbites, overbites, and crossbites.
• Guiding Jaw Growth: Influencing the development of the jawbones to achieve a balanced alignment between the upper and lower jaws.
• Preventing Future Problems: Aiming to avoid more severe orthodontic issues that might require more extensive treatment in the future.
