Seventy-five percent of 12-year-olds
need orthodontic treatment. Yet 90% of a child's face has already developed!
By guiding facial development earlier, through the use of functional appliances,
80% of the treatment can be corrected before the adult teeth are present!
Cooperation
Younger children between the ages of
8 and 11 are often much more cooperative than children of 12 to 14.
Shorter Treatment Time
Another advantage of early Phase One
treatment is that children will need to wear fixed braces on their adult teeth
for less time.
