vs. Needs: Conservative Early Treatment Strategies. "
My preference is not to do Phase I at all
but when it is needed, I try to make use of the
most conservative means possible. More than
80% of my mixed-dentition exam patients will
receive no treatment at all, 10%-15% will receive
some type of simple appliance-only treatment,
and less than 5% will have what I consider to be
true Phase I treatment involving appliances plus
limited braces.
Expansion in mixed dentition is a controversial
topic, particularly lately in the online forums.
I want to express clearly that I am strongly
opposed to the idea that every kid who comes in
the door needs an expander, that expansion is a
cure-all for any and all airway issues, that expansion
in 3-year-olds is great idea, or any other such
quackery. However, I am also strongly opposed to
defining and treating maxillary transverse deficiency
only when it happens to be accompanied
by a posterior crossbite. In cases of bimaxillary
transverse constriction, I hope you will find this
technique as simple and effective as I have! OT
