Phase 2 Orthodontic Treatment at Old Bridge Orthodontics - Dr. Leung

At Old Bridge Orthodontics, we specialize in providing expert orthodontic treatment, including Phase 2 orthodontics designed to improve the alignment of your teeth and jaw. Whether you need braces or clear aligners, Dr. Leung offers tailored solutions for every patient.

What is Phase 2 Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is divided into two key phases: Phase 1 (childhood or early adolescence) and Phase 2 (adolescence or adulthood). Phase 2 orthodontic treatment is typically recommended for patients who have completed Phase 1 treatment or for those who require more comprehensive correction later in life.

This phase generally involves braces or clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. It helps improve both bite function and the aesthetics of your smile. Dr. Leung works closely with patients to determine the best approach for their needs.

Ideal Age for Phase 2 Orthodontic Treatment

Phase 2 treatment is generally recommended for children between the ages of 12 to 18 years old. At this age, the permanent teeth have fully erupted, and the jawbone has stopped growing. However, Phase 2 orthodontics can be beneficial at any age, including adults looking to correct their bite or enhance their smile.

Treatment Options for Phase 2 Orthodontics

At Old Bridge Orthodontics, Dr. Leung offers a variety of options for Phase 2 orthodontic treatment, including:

  • Traditional braces
  • Clear aligners (such as Invisalign)
  • Lingual braces (braces placed behind the teeth)

Each option has unique advantages, and Dr. Leung will help you select the best treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

Affordable Phase 2 Treatment at Old Bridge Orthodontics

The cost of Phase 2 orthodontic treatment can vary depending on the type of braces or aligners, the duration of treatment, and the complexity of your orthodontic needs. To help you make an informed decision, Old Bridge Orthodontics offers free consultations to discuss your options and provide a clear estimate of your treatment cost.

We also understand that orthodontic treatment can be a financial commitment, which is why we offer flexible payment plans and accept most major insurance plans to ensure that treatment is affordable for everyone.
