At the age of 10-14, girls begin their second growth spurt. It’s an essential stage for the alignment of teeth and jaws.
Using growth to achieve optimal results!
Adolescents enter their second growth spurt between the ages of 12 and 15. During this period, corrections can be made not only to the teeth, but also to the jaws.
Phase 1 – The goal is to influence the direction of jaw growth. Treatment begins around age 7-8 with an interceptive appliance to ensure a normal relationship between the upper and lower jaws.
The goal is to achieve a normal relationship between the upper and lower jaws, along with balanced tooth alignment. This phase generally begins around age 12. We may use an expansion appliance, an appliance with facial traction, or braces. Thanks to the treatment completed in Phase 1, Phase 2 is typically easier and shorter in duration.
