Phase 1 Orthodontic Treatment

Early Intervention for Lifelong Smiles

At Luminary Orthodontics, we believe the foundation for a healthy, beautiful smile begins early. Phase 1 Treatment is designed for children, typically between the ages of 6 and 10, to address orthodontic concerns at an early stage. By identifying and treating potential issues before they develop into more complex problems, we set the stage for a lifetime of confident, healthy smiles.

Why Phase 1 Treatment?

Early orthodontic intervention is essential when there are signs of jaw growth irregularities, overcrowded teeth, or bite misalignments. By starting treatment during a child’s developmental years, we can guide the growth of the jaw, correct dental arches, and create space for incoming permanent teeth.

Benefits of Phase 1 Treatment:

  • Promotes Healthy Jaw Development: Guides proper jaw growth to ensure optimal alignment.
  • Prevents Future Complications: Reduces the risk of more extensive treatments in adolescence or adulthood.
  • Creates Space for Permanent Teeth: Prevents overcrowding by addressing issues early.
  • Improves Bite  Alignment: Corrects crossbites, underbites, and overbites.
  • Boosts Confidence: Helps children feel more confident in their developing smile.
  • Promotes Healthy Jaw Development: Guides proper jaw growth to ensure optimal alignment.
  • Prevents Future Complications: Reduces the risk of more extensive treatments in adolescence or adulthood.
  • Creates Space for Permanent Teeth: Prevents overcrowding by addressing issues early.

  • Boosts Confidence: Helps children feel more confident in their developing smile.

What to Expect During Phase 1 Treatment:

  1. Smile Analysis Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive Smile Analysis to evaluate your child’s unique needs. Using state-of-the-art CBCT imaging technology, we ensure precise diagnosis and planning.
  2. Customized Treatment Plan: Every child’s smile is different. We create a tailored treatment plan that may include expanders, partial braces, or other orthodontic appliances to guide the development of their teeth and jaw.
  3. Ongoing Monitoring: Throughout the treatment, we monitor progress closely and make adjustments as needed to achieve the best possible results.
  4. Transition to Phase 2 Treatment (if needed): Phase 1 Treatment often sets the foundation for Phase 2, ensuring the final alignment of teeth and bite during adolescence.
