Benefits of Pursuing Dentofacial Orthopedics
With dentofacial orthopedics, we can detect and address developmental problems while they’re still in the early stages. It goes without saying that the sooner these issues are identified, the easier they are to treat. Plus, treating them early on can prevent serious oral damage in the future. For instance, we may be able to avoid damage to the jaw joint by redirecting the developmental pathways of the jaw and nearby facial bones. This also gives us the opportunity to correct teeth that may be crooked or overlapping, possibly reducing the likelihood that your child will need braces when they’re older.
