Phase One Treatment: Building the Foundation for a Lifetime of Smiles with Dr. Salzer

Orthodontics isn’t just about straight teeth—it’s about starting at the right time, with the right tools.

 
 

🎉 Phase One Complete!
From a narrow arch and crowding to a beautifully aligned bite—this patient just wrapped up her Phase One treatment with Dr. Salzer, and the results speak for themselves. 💫

With the help of a palate expander, upper braces, and precise timing; we were able to guide her jaw development and create space early—setting her up for a healthy, confident smile as she continues to grow. 🦷✨

This case highlights a classic Phase One treatment plan: a palate expander paired with upper braces and a lower retainer. The goal? To create space, guide jaw development, and correct bite patterns while the patient is still growing. A palate expander gently widens the upper jaw, helping to prevent crowding and crossbites before they become more complex issues. Braces then help align the teeth and support the skeletal changes underway.

Dr. Salzer’s approach is equal parts science and strategy. By tracking patient photos and progress every few weeks, she ensures that each visit is effective. It’s orthodontics that honors growth—setting the stage for a healthier, more confident smile in adolescence and beyond.

Start strong. Grow smart. Smile confidently.
Trust Dr. Salzer with your child’s first step toward lifelong oral health.
