What Is Phased Orthodontics Treatment?

Two-phase treatment is a term used to describe the orthodontic treatment for children that is divided into two sections: Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Phase 1 aims to help the jaw develop to accommodate all permanent teeth and improve the fit of the upper and lower jaws.

Phase 2 aligns each tooth with the lips, cheeks, tongue, and other teeth, allowing the teeth to work together. Phase 2 usually involves full braces.
