Phase 2 Treatment

The goal of the second phase (also considered Full Treatment if no early treatment was needed) is to make sure each tooth has an exact location in the mouth where it is in harmony with the lips, cheeks, tongue, and other teeth. When this equilibrium is established, the teeth will function together properly. The second phase will generally begin after all the baby teeth have fallen out and permanent teeth have come in, usually around 12-13 years old. Treatment options for this phase will depend on your child’s individual needs. Some kids and teens will need braces with rubber bands, while others will need Invisalign. Once the teeth are in their final positions, retainers will be worn to ensure you retain your beautiful smile.

We have been going to Wang Orthodontics for several years. We went most recently for a consult for our youngest to begin phase 2 of the braces process. My son has some missing teeth that will need to be addressed over time. I was beyond thrilled with Nicole who was so knowledgeable in the areas we needed to talk about. She explained options we could think about and even was able to share a personal story with how amazing dental bridges are while we wait for our son to be old enough for implants. Dr. Wang followed up and concurred with everything Nicole shared as well. Both of them really helped to ease some concerns we have and helped us in making the best decision with what type of braces would be best in our situation. We are so happy that we are working with some of the absolute best dental staff out there and woukd not hesitate to recommend Wang to others!
