After the treatments in the mixed dentition period, the patients are followed up until the age of 12, until the second molars take their place in the mouth.
After the second molars, which take their place in the mouth around the age of 12, complete their eruption, the patient is re-evaluated and if necessary, the second stage orthodontic treatment, which concerns the entire oral structure, is started.
Performing the treatment in two stages allows some problems to be solved more effectively, while reducing the total treatment time spent with fixed treatment, preventing conditions such as caries and gum disease that may occur in teeth due to orthodontic problems.
