Guidance on facial and jaw growth in children and adolescents.
Also known as Functional Jaw Orthopedics, this field of treatment offers a preventive and interceptive approach, which is particularly important during childhood.
During this phase, which covers children aged 3 to 12, orthodontic treatment helps guide the proper growth of the jaws and supports important functions such as nasal breathing, chewing, and speech. By addressing the root cause of the problems—rather than just the teeth—this treatment helps prevent and correct abnormalities in facial development.
- Promotes more balanced and harmonious facial growth
- Promotes nasal breathing
- Creates space for the teeth to align naturally
- It helps prevent more complex treatments in the future and can avoid tooth extractions
