Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child definitely need braces if they start interceptive treatment?
Not necessarily. The goal of interceptive treatment is to address specific structural issues early, around age 7. While many children will still need a second phase of braces or Invisalign as teenagers, this early phase often makes that future treatment much faster and more straightforward.
How long does Phase I treatment usually last?
Your child’s time in interceptive care is designed to be efficient. Most Phase I treatments last between 9 and 14 months, focusing on specific goals like widening the jaw or making room for permanent teeth to emerge properly.
Can I afford two phases of orthodontic treatment?
Yes. You have the power to build a customized, interest-free payment plan that fits your family’s budget for every stage of care. We provide honest guidance to ensure you are making a manageable investment in your child’s future.
Will my child see the same doctor for both phases of care?
Yes. To ensure the best clinical results and a consistent experience, you will see the same doctor throughout your child’s entire orthodontic journey. This allows for seamless transitions between different stages of growth.
