Two-Phase Treatment

What are the benefits of undergoing two stages of orthodontic therapy?

It is a two-phase orthodontic therapy that combines the straightening of teeth with physical, face alterations. ” The goal of two-phase therapy is to provide your kid the best possible chance of achieving a long-term, healthy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Can treatment be delayed?

The longer you wait to get your child’s smile fixed, the more intrusive the procedure will be. Early intervention is the best way to ensure long-term success.

Phase One

Inspiring Smiles That Last Forever

Phase One therapy aims to help the jaw grow in a manner that will accept all of the permanent teeth and enhance the relationship between the upper and lower jaws. As a child grows and develops, he or she may show early indicators of jaw difficulties. It is possible to detect an abnormally wide or narrowing of the upper jaw at a young age. A jaw disparity discovered in children over the age of six is a good candidate for early orthodontic treatment. Furthermore, early treatment of crowded front teeth in children as young as eight may reduce the need for extractions of permanent teeth later on.

• The joy on your child’s face may be saved if you act quickly.
  Early therapy has a huge impact on children. Early treatment may avert the need for surgery to straighten the jaws or the removal of permanent teeth later in life.
• Setting up a file for the specific treatment of your kid
  The kind of braces to be used, the length of treatment, and the number of visits will all be determined by the records kept at an orthodontic office. X-rays, dental models, and pictures make up the bulk of the documentation. The doctor will collect records at your child’s first appointment to assess whether early treatment is required.

A Time of Repose

During this stage, no treatment is given to the remaining permanent teeth as they emerge. If they interfere with eruption, retaining devices may not be a good idea. It’s preferable to let the permanent teeth that are there wander about a little bit. For permanent teeth to emerge, the initial phase must go well. If they don’t, they might be badly harmed or relocated.

• Observing the development of the teeth
  The teeth are not in their ultimate placements after the first phase of therapy. Treatment phase two will define and carry out this goal. This resting period is a good time to remove some primary (baby) teeth selectively to help with eruption. Consequently, regular follow-up sessions are required, often every six months.

Phase Two

Look and feel your best.

Each tooth’s precise placement in the mouth is the purpose of the second phase, which is to ensure harmony between the mouth’s soft tissues and teeth. When this balance is achieved, the teeth will work as a unit. Upper and lower braces are often used in full in Phase Two.

A diagnostic and treatment plan was formed at the start of the first phase of orthodontic therapy. The teeth and jaw were re-aligned and corrected in the first phase with the use of various appliances. In the second stage, which occurs after the eruption of all permanent teeth, braces are required for an average of 24 months on all of the teeth. After this stage, your kid will need to wear a retainer to guarantee that his or her gorgeous smile remains intact.
