Two-phase orthodontic treatment can help set your child up for great oral health.

What is Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment?

Two-phase orthodontic treatment refers to two separate times when a child receives orthodontic care. The first phase is done while the child still has many or most of their primary or "baby" teeth. The second takes place when the child has most or all of their permanent teeth.

Benefits of Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment

Early treatment of oral health issues such as bad bite, jaw issues, and other dental problems can prevent issues from worsening and prevent the need for your child to have more extensive dental work or surgery performed later on in life.
