Crabapple Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, a trusted provider of family-focused dental care, is proud to spotlight the growing importance of Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment for children. This proactive approach, led by an experienced orthodontist in Alpharetta, offers long-term benefits by addressing dental concerns in two critical developmental stages.

Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment is designed to guide proper jaw development and align teeth as a child grows. The first phase typically begins around age 7, when the child still has a mix of baby and permanent teeth. This stage focuses on creating space for permanent teeth, correcting harmful habits, and guiding jaw growth. The second phase follows once most or all of the permanent teeth have erupted, fine-tuning tooth alignment for optimal function and appearance.

“Early intervention allows us to correct problems before they become more complicated,” says Dr. Javid Yavari, lead orthodontist at Crabapple Orthodontics. “Our goal is to support children’s healthy growth and development while preventing the need for more extensive treatment later.”

Benefits of Two-Phase Treatment include:

Reducing the risk of permanent tooth extractions

Preventing serious bite and alignment issues

Improving facial symmetry and oral function

Enhancing self-esteem at a young age

Crabapple Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics uses advanced diagnostic tools and a compassionate approach to evaluate each child’s needs. Parents are encouraged to schedule an orthodontic consultation by age 7, as recommended by the American Association of Orthodontists.

“Our team works closely with families in Alpharetta and surrounding areas to ensure every child receives personalized care tailored to their growth and smile goals,” adds Dr. Yavari. “We’re not just straightening teeth — we’re building healthier futures.”
