Phase 1 orthodontics provides several benefits, including:
Children who are between the ages of 6 and 10 and have orthodontic problems that are likely to become more severe if left untreated are good candidates for phase 1 orthodontics. This can include issues such as crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, and jaw growth problems.
Phase 1 orthodontics, also known as early interceptive treatment, is a type of orthodontic treatment that is designed to address orthodontic issues in children at an early age. It aims to correct problems such as bite issues, overcrowding, and jaw growth problems while the child’s jaw and bones are still developing.
To care for your braces, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. You should also avoid eating hard, sticky, or sugary foods and be careful when participating in physical activities to prevent damaging the braces. If you experience any discomfort or problems with your braces, be sure to contact your dentist or orthodontist right away.
Braces are often covered by dental insurance, but the extent of coverage varies depending on your individual policy. Contact your insurance provider for more information.
Invisalign works by applying gentle pressure to the teeth to move them into the desired position. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series, gradually moving towards the final desired position of your teeth.
Invisalign is suitable for most people with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, and underbites. Your dentist or orthodontist can assess your specific needs and determine if Invisalign is the best option for you.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using clear, custom-made aligners instead of traditional metal braces. The aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic material that is worn over the teeth.
