Hamilton, ON Children's Orthodontics: Growth Modification Treatments & Braces Schacher Orthodontics has a range of early treatments for your child's teeth so the need for corrective treatments later in their lives is either prevented or minimized. Schacher Orthodontics uses a Two-Phase Growth Modification treatment plan for its child patients. The first phase involves the building of your child's facial foundation. At this time their jaw is growing and their baby teeth are falling out. Permanent teeth are being allowed to erupt, and the orthodontists are guiding their growth and positioning. Once all their permanent teeth have erupted, the second phase starts. It focuses on the arrangement of their teeth, and usually requires braces for a period of time. At the end of this phase, retainers are typically worn to maintain their newly-achieved smile. If your child is deemed not yet ready for treatment, Schacher Orthodontics places them in the Orthodontic Supervisory Program, a recall program that monitors their progress. To get your child booked into the early treatment program you can call Schacher Orthodontics at 1-905-545-3021 or contact them through their website.
