Your path to a stunning smile begins with familiarizing yourself with the orthodontic options available at Weibel Orthodontics. Conveniently located at 3019 Marietta Ave, Lancaster, PA, our team provides expert guidance throughout the two-phase orthodontic treatment, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
The two-phase orthodontic process is particularly beneficial for growing children, as it promotes optimal dental development and improves both oral health and aesthetics. Here's a brief overview of what to expect:
Phase One: Early Intervention - This phase usually starts around age 7 when Dr. Paul Weibel and our orthodontic team assess the child's teeth positioning, jaw alignment, and overall oral balance. Early treatment may involve the use of appliances like expanders or partial braces to address overcrowding, jaw issues, and bite misalignments before they worsen.
Phase Two: Comprehensive Treatment - Following the first phase, this stage begins when most permanent teeth are present. This phase typically involves braces or aligners, with a focus on perfecting tooth alignment for both functionality and appearance.
Implementing this two-phase orthodontic approach not only improves smiles but also contributes to overall dental health.
