Early orthodontics can help ensure your child’s oral health is at its best during their formative years. Merna Tajaddod Orthodontics offers some of the best early orthodontics services in Palo Alto, CA.
Early orthodontic treatment, or Phase 1, is appropriate for children who still have all or some of their primary teeth. Early orthodontics can help prevent the improper growth or misalignment of permanent teeth, as well as reduce the likelihood of impacted teeth.
This treatment is all about prevention. We can correct crooked teeth or crowded teeth by turning to Phase 1 braces for children between 6 and 10 years old. We recommend that you bring a child as young as 6 for a checkup to head off orthodontic concerns before they start. Our youngest patient in 2022 was just 5 years old.
During Phase 1 orthodontic treatment, we check for the following:
To treat these issues, we can provide a variety of treatment options to make room for permanent teeth.
