Early (Phase I Treatment)
While kids can be seen as early as age 7, their teeth may not require immediate attention. The purpose of early treatment is to monitor the growth of the teeth and implement any appliance work that may need to be done. This way, any pressing issues can be dealt with before they develop further.
In one such case, the patient’s parents were concerned about both aesthetics and the health of their eight-year old’s erupting permanent teeth. The lower front teeth were crowded and they touched the palate, and the upper front teeth were extremely displaced from their normal positions. After twenty months of Phase I treatment with an expander and partial braces, the patient's appearance and dental function were vastly improved.
