The Benefits of Pursuing Dentofacial Orthopedics
With dentofacial orthopedics, we can identify and address developmental issues in the earliest stages. Keep in mind that it will be significantly easier to handle these problems now, rather than allowing them to cause severe damage to your child’s mouth later. For example, damage to the jaw joint can be avoided if we redirect the way the jaw and the nearby facial bones grow. This is actually a two-pronged solution as it can also work to correct crooked and overlapping teeth. If you want to reduce the risk of your child needing braces later, ask us about dentofacial orthopedics!
