Phase 1 (Interceptive) Orthodontics
Early orthodontic treatment for young children to address significant issues and guide jaw growth.
Overview
Phase 1, or interceptive orthodontics, is a problem-focused treatment performed while a child still has some of their baby teeth. It aims to correct significant issues like severe crowding, crossbites, or harmful oral habits to make the comprehensive treatment in their teenage years (Phase 2) shorter and less complex.
Who Is This For?
Children typically between the ages of 7 and 10 who have been identified with developmental issues of the jaw or teeth.
Benefits
- Reduces the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth
- Corrects harmful oral habits
- Simplifies and shortens future orthodontic treatment
