Common Orthodontic Problems We Fix
Every smile is unique, and so are the challenges behind it. At Hodson & Meister Orthodontics, we treat more just than crooked teeth we help correct bite issues, jaw growth problems, and even habits like thumb sucking that affect oral health. Early detection makes all the difference.
We commonly treat:
- Crowding
- Spacing
- Bad bite (underbite, overbite, crossbite)
- Jaw growth problems
- Habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting

Early Orthodontic Treatment - check by 7
What problems can early treatment fix?
Crowding, bite issues, speech development, or jaw growth concerns can be addressed early often avoiding complex treatments later.
What’s the cost of early orthodontics?
We offer flexible payment plans and accept most insurances. Your first consultation is free — no pressure, just expert advice.
When is early treatment not needed?
Not all children need Phase I treatment. This phase usually begins around age 7 and is only recommended when there are specific issues that require early correction — like jaw growth problems, severe crowding, or crossbites. If your child’s smile is developing normally, we won’t rush into treatment. Instead, we’ll monitor their growth with regular checkups and begin orthodontic treatment (full braces or aligners) once all permanent teeth are in.
Phase I
Early Guidance for Growing Smiles
Phase 1 focuses on guiding jaw growth and creating space early, helping prevent more complex problems as permanent teeth develop.
Phase II
Final Alignment for a Healthy, Confident Smile
Phase 2 begins once permanent teeth are in, using braces or aligners to perfect alignment, bite, and overall smile function.
