During Phase Two orthodontics, the team works to improve the position of permanent teeth. Our team also addresses problems with bite and jaw alignments. We work to improve mouth function and enhance the appearance of a child’s teeth.
This phase typically begins around age 11-13. Most dental providers will wait until all permanent teeth have erupted. Treatment might also be delayed until your child’s jaw has fully developed. Our dental team can let you know when it is time to consider Phase Two orthodontics.
Treatment times can vary. Some patients need minor adjustments that can be completed within 12 months. Other patients may need 2-4 years of orthodontic care. The orthodontist can provide a detailed timeline.
Treatment costs for Phase Two orthodontics can vary. If a child has severe orthodontic concerns, treatment costs may be higher. Our office team can provide an estimate of total treatment costs. We work with your insurance provider to determine coverage and eligibility.
Phase Two orthodontics is not just for children and teens. Adults can receive braces and clear aligners, too. It is never too late to pursue a straighter, healthier smile. Ask our office team for more information about adult orthodontics.
