The Advantages of the Two-Phase Treatment Process

Two-phase treatment is a specialized process that involves jaw and facial changes (orthopedics) and tooth straightening (orthodontics). The emphasis today on living longer, staying healthy, and looking attractive requires ideal treatment results. The major advantage of two-phase treatment is to maximize the opportunity to accomplish the ideal healthy, functional, aesthetic and comfortable result that will remain stable.

The disadvantage of waiting for complete eruption of the permanent teeth and having only one phase oftreatment is the possibility of a compromised result that may require preventable adult tooth extraction or jaw surgery.
