At Chawla Orthodontics, we recommend Phase 1 treatment
For children between the ages of 5 and 12. This early intervention helps guide jaw growth, correct bite issues, and create the best foundation for permanent teeth.
Why Choose Phase 1 Treatment?
Phase 1 treatment addresses developing orthodontic issues before all permanent teeth have erupted. Early treatment can prevent more serious problems later, simplify future orthodontic care, and help your child avoid invasive procedures.
Key benefits include:
- Correct jaw growth and bite problems early
- Guide permanent teeth into proper positions
- Prevent future complex orthodontic treatment
- Encourage healthy dental habits from a young age
Who Can Benefit?
Phase 1 treatment is ideal for children who have early signs of:
- Crowding or spacing issues
- Crossbites, overbites, or underbites
- Misaligned or protruding teeth
- Habits like thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting that affect teeth
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment begins with a thorough consultation and evaluation of your child’s teeth and jaw. Appliances or braces may be used to guide growth and correct alignment. Regular visits ensure progress is on track and adjustments are made as needed.
