Our interceptive orthodontic treatments in Cedarhurst are designed to gently guide the growth of teeth and jaws, helping young patients achieve healthier, more confident smiles as they grow. At Amazing Smiles Orthodontics, we believe early detection and timely care can make all the difference in your child’s dental development.
Interceptive orthodontics, also known as Phase I treatment, is the first stage of orthodontic care for children. It focuses on identifying and correcting early bite or alignment problems before they become more complex.
