[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this is two-phase orthodontics - you take on the procedures in those early years in the knowledge you may well have to go through it all again. It's a pointless exercise in most cases - people do it out of vanity and it's a costly exercise. [/quote] This may be true in some cases, but not all. If your kid has ectopic canines, they may need phase one to avoid losing their permanent front teeth. (If left to their own devices, the canines can drill into neighboring adult teeth and kill the root.) A palate expander and two sets of braces is a dream compare to what awaits you if you let it go untreated. (Loss of permanent adult teeth, surgical exposure of the canine, use of a metal chain to yank it back into place.) [/quote]
