What is Phase 1 Treatment Advantages of Phase 1 Treatment Why Invisalign First

Starting little shifts today goes a long way

As a child grows, their smile grows with them. And even with baby teeth, it may be time for children aged 6 to 10 to start orthodontic treatment. This is known as Phase 1 treatment.

At this stage, doctors can see issues that may need early treatment to address a developing problem.

Phase 1 treatment for growing children with a mix of baby and permanent teeth.*
Phase 2 treatment for pre-teens and teens when most or all permanent teeth have erupted.

* Retainers are recommended in between phases while waiting for the permanent teeth to grow in and after Phase 2 is completed to help retain the corrections made

Advantages of Phase 1 treatment

The goal of Phase 1 treatment is to develop young jaws and/or arches to make room for existing teeth and for incoming permanent teeth

Can prevent pre-existing bite issues from getting worse
Can fix existing teeth-straightening conditions
Can improve the appearance of a growing child's smile
