Achieving a beautiful, healthy smile involves careful navigation through orthodontics. The Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment is an effective approach specifically designed for children, ensuring they receive appropriate care for their developing mouths. At Weibel Orthodontics, Dr. Paul Weibel and his dedicated team support families through this process, personalizing care to meet each child's unique requirements.
The initial phase starts around age 7, giving the orthodontist a chance to assess jaw and tooth growth. Early intervention plays a crucial role in identifying alignment or spacing issues before permanent teeth appear. This phase may utilize expanders, space maintainers, or other devices to promote jaw development, ensuring adequate space for incoming teeth—significantly decreasing the necessity for extensive treatments later on.
The subsequent phase generally commences once most baby teeth have been replaced by adult teeth. This stage often involves braces or clear aligners to refine the alignment established during the first phase. A Two-Phase Treatment Plan empowers the orthodontist to create a functional and appealing smile while lowering the likelihood of dental misalignment.
Parents have expressed appreciation for the Two-Phase Treatment at Weibel Orthodontics, with one stating how fantastic Dr. Weibel has been in guiding them.
