Early Interceptive Phase I Orthodontic Treatment
Welcome to Prestige Orthodontics, where we specialize in the transformative power of Early Interceptive or Phase I orthodontic treatment. With convenient locations in La Verne and Diamond Bar, California, we’re dedicated to providing proactive orthodontic care that sets the foundation for lifelong dental health and confidence.
What is Early Interceptive or Phase I Orthodontic Treatment?
Early interceptive orthodontic treatment involves addressing orthodontic issues in children at a younger age, typically between the ages of 7 and 11. This proactive approach allows us to intervene early, guiding the growth and development of the teeth and jaw to prevent more serious issues from arising later on. The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends that children should get check up with their orthodontist by age 7.
How Can it Help?
- Preventive Intervention: By addressing orthodontic issues early, we can often prevent more severe problems from developing, reducing the need for extensive treatment in the future.
- Guided Growth: Early treatment allows us to guide the growth of your child’s teeth and jaw, promoting proper alignment and reducing the likelihood of overcrowding or spacing issues.
- Improved Bite: Correcting bite problems early on can prevent issues such as difficulty chewing, speaking, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders in the future.
- Boosted Confidence: A healthy, properly aligned smile can have a significant impact on your child’s confidence and self-esteem, setting them up for success in social and academic settings.
At Prestige Orthodontics, our expert team is dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate care for each patient. We believe that every child deserves a healthy, confident smile, and we’re here to help make that a reality.

Michelle Marmol2024-03-26Dr. Htut and the team are amazing, professional, and overall, 1000/100! Dr. Htut and the team are very open w/ communication in regards to appts and squeezing patients in last minute for any issues (ie broken braces, springs, etc). From the first day we entered the program, to the last day of phase 1, the office has been very patient centered. Kim, Heather, all the assistants and technicians are just amazing. The office is very responsive as well about trying to accommodate patients schedules as needed. Dr. Htut came as a recommendation from a family member and it is the best choice we ever made. The journey has been long, but it has all been worth it.
Cathy Johnson2024-01-31Dr. Htut is truly an ethical doctor who prioritizes his patients’ dental health. I had a consultation for Invisalign and was truly impressed by Dr. Htut’s honesty, professionalism, and friendly demeanor. I saw Dr. Htut because I was seeking the opinion of an orthodontist, not a dentist. My case is somewhat complex, and he actually recommended that I do not get the Invisalign treatment at this time. It’s easy to find a provider who will provide a treatment to bring in some cash, but to actually find a doctor who believes it is in the patient’s best interest to not get a treatment is rare!

Nikolett Osborne2023-09-12Dr. Htut and his team made my experience so positive and welcoming! Thank you so much for being so kind and always making sure my teeth we’re taking care of and helping me to get the results I could ever imagine! Dr. Htut always made my visits so personal, always remembering small details from our previous conversations! I drove 40 min there and 40 min back every time for my appointment and it was so worth it! I would do it over and over again! Thank you so much! So grateful for Dr. Htut and his team for all they did for me and made my journey very special!
Daniel Cordova2023-06-20In my 2 and a half years of coming to prestige, I want to thank the members for being so kind. I had no pain when I first got my braces, amazing.

HoopFamily TV2023-02-01Everyone is very nice, and I have had a great experience every time!
Matthew Granados2023-01-17Dr. Htut and the team at prestige did a great job of straightening my teeth! They made sure to consistently have me come in for appointments so they could make sure that my invisalign was doing its job. Dr. Htut ended up making a few adjustments during the process to ensure that my teeth would straighten out properly and efficiently. As a result, I ended up graduating from my invisalign a lot sooner than expected! I am very happy with my smile now!
