Sometimes, your child may need orthodontic care and you don’t even realize it! It is strongly recommended that children visit an orthodontist by the age of 7. Sometimes preventative care has to start with baby teeth. We are happy to work closely with you on completing preventative care. We want to make sure we stop any potential issues before their permanent teeth grow in.
Is your child nervous at the dentist? At Green Valley Ranch Orthodontics, we hope to make the entire experience comfortable. We have experts who specialize in child orthodontic care and who can make the entire process more fun! We have built a friendly atmosphere in our clinic, from the architecture to the amazing staff! We will communicate clearly with you and your child along every single step of the process. This way you and your child will understand and grow even more comfortable with the orthodontic process designed for them.
Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment
Why is the Two-Phase Treatment Beneficial?
The Two-Phase Treatment Plan is beneficial because it provides preventative care that starts early in tooth and jaw development. By being proactive, we are creating an environment within your child’s mouth that will decrease complex care. If we don’t target potential problem areas early, they can worsen overtime. To develop your child’s smile into a healthy and comfortable smile, we start this care early and complete it once all the permanent teeth have moved to their final positions.
Following the Two-Phase Treatment plan, we have a more structured and clear path to follow when preventing and repairing issues that your child may have. Coordinated and targeted growth is easy to work on while your child is still growing. Following the Two-Phase Treatment plan will decrease the likelihood of complex treatments as their orthodontic journey continues.
Why is it Better to Start Treatment Now?
Pushing back orthodontic treatment can sometimes make orthodontic issues worse over time. If we leave these issues as they are, they can develop into more significant problems like severe overcrowding, bite problems, or even require surgery or tooth extractions. If we are proactive and prevent issues early, we can help develop your child’s smile into the best possible outcome.
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children visit the orthodontist by the time they are seven years old. By developing a personalized plan before treatment is needed when they’re older, we can work towards creating better outcomes for your child’s smile.
