Early or Phase I Orthodontic Treatments
Phase I, or early interceptive treatment, is often recommended to patients ages 7-11 who are in the mixed dentition and it usually last from 8-15 months. Dr. Nguyen is very conservative and does not recommend phase I treatment unless it is really needed. Most patients will require a second phase of treatment after the remainder of the permanent teeth erupt, although occasionally phase II treatment is not necessary. The goal of phase I treatment are to lower the risk of dental trauma, to reduce or minimize the need for jaw surgery, to correct harmful oral habits, to influence jaw growth in a positive manner and improve esthetics and self-esteem. After phase I treatment, your child may need to wear temporary retainers and will see the orthodontist every 6 months to evaluate his/her jaw development and eruption progress and to decide on the best time to start Phase 2 treatment. Here are the most common conditions that recognized and considered for phase I treatment (please click on each link below to see different cases that have phase I treatment by Dr Nguyen):
