We emphasize the importance of early orthodontic treatment, often referred to as Phase One treatment. This proactive approach typically begins around the age of eight or nine and aims to address jaw growth and specific bite issues, such as underbite, at an early stage.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This early assessment allows us to determine if your child may benefit from orthodontic intervention.
Early treatment offers several long-term benefits, including guiding the proper growth of the jaw, improving bite alignment, and creating adequate space for permanent teeth to emerge correctly. By addressing these issues early, we can often reduce the need for more invasive procedures, such as extractions, later on. At around age 11 or older, Phase Two treatment may commence to further refine and perfect your child's smile.
