Looking for early intervention orthodontics in Providence? Phase 1 treatment for kids ages 7 to 10 can guide jaw growth, make room for adult teeth, and reduce the chance of more complex treatment later. At Anchor Orthodontics on Pitman Street, a board-certified orthodontist evaluates your child in person and only recommends early care when it will clearly help.
Not every child needs Phase 1. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check by age 7 so we can catch problems while growth is still on our side. Common reasons for early care include crossbites, severe crowding, habits that push teeth out of place, and jaw growth that is getting ahead of itself. Learn more on our main early intervention page, including how Phase 1 often pairs with palate expanders.
