What Does Two Phase Treatment Fix?

Two-phase orthodontic treatment can be used to: Help the jaws develop to ensure adequate space for all of the permanent teeth, especially the permanent canines.

• May reduce the need to pull permanent teeth in the future.
• Some problems that can be treated quite well in a growing child but may require corrective surgery if treatment occurs after growth ends.
• Normalize the relationship of the upper jaw to the lower jaw, especially in the case of an underbite.
• Intervene in a child’s prolonged sucking or abnormal swallowing.
• Damaging pressure can move teeth in the wrong directions and/or change the shape of the bone that supports teeth.
• Tuck in upper front teeth that stick out to reduce the risk of those teeth being broken or knocked out.
