The orthodontic treatments when dealing with kids at the age of 7-8 years old can be divided into two phases, which is phase 1 and phase 2. Phase 1 is usually implemented on kids at the age of 7 and 8 years old to help prevent them from getting full mouth and long term braces in the phase 2. The most critical time for tooth development is at the age of 7 and 8, because that is when their baby teeth are in the process of transitioning towards adulthood.

The goal is to better their facial structures, correct over bites and under bites, by using various expansion appliances, advancement or retraction of the lower jaw appliances, and habit breaking appliances. The good thing about phase 1 treatment is that if braces are needed, they are worn for a shorter period of time.
The phase 2 treatment can be implemented on both adults and children. It involves full mouth braces. The length of braces is determined by the level of the orthodontic problem. Most of the time, full mouth braces are required to be on for at least a year and generally, they can be taken off within 1 to 2 years.
