Phase 1 Orthodontic Treatment

Phase 1 treatment is recommended for children who exhibit early signs of jaw problems. Children, starting at age 7, can benefit from Phase 1 treatment by wearing an appliance that helps to create a good foundation for their adult teeth. These appliances can be upper, lower, or both. Most appliances expand the jaw to accomodate teeth, but they can also correct jaw shape and help create an optimal relationship between the upper and lower jaw. Since children are growing rapidly this is the best time to do interceptive treatment and it can cut down on the time neccessary for phase 2 treatment. Phase 2 treatment begins when all baby teeth have been lost and all adult teeth have come in.
