Confident Smile For Your Child
Phase two orthodontic treatment, designed for children, is a two-phase treatment consisting of a specific and widely recommended orthodontic treatment. It efficiently straightens your child’s misaligned teeth to create a well-functional bite, by overcoming any major or minor bite problems, eventually significantly improving your child’s oral health and hygiene. That, in turn, will make their smile better.
The procedure of the treatment is straightforward. Initially, the treatment starts with the usage of a wide range of oral appliances. That might include a palatal expander, a partial set of braces depending on the severity of the oral health problems. Listed below are some of the most commonly occurring bite problems, including:
- Protruding teeth
- Overbite and Underbite
- Early or late loss of teeth
- Anterior Crossbites and Posterior Crossbites
All these problems need immediate assessment and proper procedures to treat them. If not rectifies on time, your child might have to face extreme difficulties in the future to get their teeth aligned.
The more this treatment gets delayed, the more the interceptive treatment or phase one treatment will last, which could be over 6-12 months. That time gets followed by a resting period, during which permanent teeth eruption takes place naturally. And then phase two begins wherein the treatment is decided based on case to case orthodontic needs.
