Early intervention orthodontics, also known as Phase I treatment, involves evaluating and treating orthodontic issues in children before all of their permanent teeth have erupted. By addressing problems like misaligned jaws, overcrowded teeth, or bite issues early, we can guide the development of the jaw and teeth, reducing the need for more complex treatment later in life.
Early intervention typically begins around age 7, when we can assess your child’s dental and facial development and determine whether orthodontic treatment would be beneficial. Early treatment can simplify future orthodontic care and ensure that your child’s permanent teeth have the space and alignment they need.
