Early Treatment
A common question we hear is "Why are so many 2nd graders in braces these days?" Phase I treatment is not something we recommend to everyone, but when it is indicated, it can make a huge difference in a child's life (and mouth!). We would much rather see a child too early and just put them in our developmental supervision program than see them too late and have our options limited as to what can be done for them.
A few reasons dentist refer to us at an early age are: cross bites, open bites due to thumb/ finger sucking, large diastemas, severe crowding, missing teeth, and teeth erupting in an irregular manner.
