It is best to assume that your child will need full braces even after Phase One treatment, however in most cases the treatment does not last as long and is normally more comfortable. Think of Phase One as treating what we can while they grow and Phase Two as aligning and putting the finishing touches on their bite. The period following Phase One treatment is called the “resting period,” during which growth and tooth eruption are closely monitored. Throughout this period, parents and patients will be kept informed of future treatment recommendations.
