Phase One Orthodontic Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check-up with an orthodontist by age 7—and we couldn’t agree more. Dr. Shafer offers Phase 1 treatment options like Invisalign First, palate expanders, and limited braces to gently guide jaw and tooth development, prevent bigger issues later, and make future treatment easier. Early care now means healthier smiles for life.
