In our last blog, we talked about the Phase I treatment our team uses to guide smile development and limit the severity of misalignment for kids as young as age seven. But when does Phase II start, and what treatments will we offer? In today’s blog, your Shirley, NY, pediatric dentist and orthodontist looks at what to expect from the second phase of pediatric orthodontics!
When children as young as age seven begin to show signs of developing misalignment, treatment can be used to help guide the smile and protect them from major misalignment and malocclusion. To do so, we can provide Phase I orthodontics, such as retainers and space maintainers. In today’s blog, your Shirley, NY, pediatric dentist and orthodontist talks about the first phase of treatment.
When you have crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth, then dental misalignment could be having a negative impact on the appearance and health of your smile.

When you have a more severe case of misalignment, this could not only alter the appearance of your smile, but the resulting malocclusion could damage them and lead to major complications.
