Phase one orthodontic treatment focuses on helping children whose teeth and jaw may need early guidance to prevent more complex issues later in life. By addressing potential concerns while the jaw and facial bones are still growing, this treatment ensures that development proceeds as naturally as possible. Dr. Todd Christensen works with families to ensure each child’s needs are met in a welcoming environment. Our team provides the support your child needs for long-term dental health.
The Benefits of Early Orthodontic Treatment
Starting orthodontic treatment early has several benefits for your child’s dental development. For children whose permanent teeth have not come in yet, phase one treatment can help create space for new teeth and guide jaw development. It may also reduce the chance of more invasive procedures in the future. Parents can expect to see improvements in the alignment of their child’s bite and smile while also gaining peace of mind about their child’s ongoing dental health.
Common Advantages of Phase One Treatment:
- Encourages proper jaw growth
- Prevents crowding of incoming permanent teeth
- Reduces the risk of more complex orthodontic issues
- Enhances overall dental function and appearance
