Abstract
Consider an integral Brakke flow , , inside some ball in Euclidean space. If has small height, its measure does not deviate too much from that of a plane and if is non-empty, then Brakke's local regularity theorem yields that is actually smooth and graphical inside a smaller ball for times for some constant . Here we extend this result to times . The main idea is to prove that a Brakke flow that is initially locally graphical with small gradient will remain graphical for some time. Moreover we use the new local regularity theorem to generalise White's regularity theorem to Brakke flows.

40 pages, corrected an error in the former Lemma 4.4 (now Lemma 5.4), added a section about curvature estimates (used for the mentioned correction)
