What early (interceptive) treatment includes
- Palatal expanders to widen a narrow upper jaw, correct crossbites and open the airway
- Space maintainers that hold room for adult teeth when baby teeth are lost early
- Partial braces to correct problems that get harder to fix once growth ends
- Invisalign First aligners designed specifically for growing kids
- Airway and habit evaluation: mouth breathing, thumb habits and tongue posture all shape a growing face
Two-phase treatment, explained honestly
Phase 1 guides growth while your child is young. After a resting period, Phase 2 (usually full braces in the teen years) finishes the alignment. Not every child needs two phases, and we will tell you plainly if yours does not. Read more about two-phase treatment.
