What is Early Treatment?
Early orthodontic treatment, also known as Phase 1 treatment, helps guide jaw development and create space for permanent teeth while a child is still growing.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Treatment usually begins between the ages of 6 and 10, when children have a mix of baby and permanent teeth. Addressing concerns early can prevent more complex orthodontic problems later.
