Our Services
At Loyacona Orthodontics, we offer a range of services to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care. Our comprehensive services include:
Early Treatment: Phase I
Phase I treatment, also known as early treatment, is the first step in orthodontic care for children. It is typically recommended for children between the ages of 7 and 10 when their permanent teeth are still developing. During this phase, orthodontic issues such as crowding, crossbite, or protruding teeth can be addressed. By starting early, we can guide the growth and development of the jaw and create more space for permanent teeth, setting the stage for a healthy and beautiful smile in the future.
Adolescent Treatment: Phase II
The second phase of orthodontic care is usually started once all the permanent teeth have erupted. Phase II treatment, which is typically around the ages of 11 to 13, helps create a harmonious bite, enhancing the appearance and function of the smile. This phase focuses on aligning the permanent teeth and improving their position and bite. Braces or other orthodontic appliances may be used during this stage to achieve optimal tooth alignment and bite correction.
