Is two-phase orthodontic treatment right for my child?

If your child's dentist believes they may benefit from orthodontic treatment, they'll refer you to an orthodontist. The orthodontist will examine your child's mouth and teeth, looking for signs of crowding, worn-down teeth (from grinding or clenching), speech and jaw issues, and other symptoms that may indicate the need for early orthodontic treatment. After the examination, they can create a personalized treatment plan and discuss it with you and your child.
