Early Intervention Orthodontic

Early Intervention Orthodontic Care

Monitoring the development of the face, teeth, and jaws is essential to overcoming dysfunctions that inhibit the correct forward growth of the Maxilla and Mandible.

We need to grow transverse for a wide smile and fit all our teeth into the growing face as well as forward to allow adequate airway space. The tongue's position in the roof of the mouth is important for the tongue so it can function correctly and promote growth of the Maxilla. Breathing through the nose and having a competent lip seal enable the tongue to position correctly, and the airways are able to function well with optimal gas exchanges within the nasal cavity.

Being able to breathe well is the first priority from birth. Breathing dysfunctions cause the body to not function and grow well. Eliminating dysfunctions early on promotes good overall health for the body. Our aim is to get the face to function well and grow to its optimal potential, eliminating tooth extractions of permanent teeth in your teens to straighten teeth for orthodontic treatments.

Our dental team is here to assess you for any symptoms you may be developing or experiencing and overcome these dysfunctions to allow the body to function and grow well.
