Keeping an eye on how your child’s teeth and jaw grow is essential to making sure they have a healthy smile from the start. By checking in early and often, we can spot any potential issues in their alignment and get them back on track.
This isn’t just about a great smile; It’s about making sure your little one can chew, chat, breathe and sleep easily. Taking this proactive step means we’re setting up the foundation for a lifetime of good oral and total body health.
In those early, bustling years, a child’s jaw, dental structures, facial growth, and airway undergo rapid changes. We tap into this natural growth phase by using targeted treatments that gently guide the development of these structures.
Through early orthodontic interventions and airway assessments, we shape not only the alignment of a child’s teeth but also ensure proper jaw positioning and clear airways.
This strategy reduces the likelihood of future complex dental interventions, actively supporting a smoother, healthier development. Our approach involves hands-on, attentive care that makes the entire growth process more manageable and less invasive.
Rapid Development by Age 2: At this early stage, a child’s cranial jaw bones are already 55% developed.
Recognizing the early signs of underdeveloped jaws can prevent complex dental and health issues later on. Signs that may indicate underdevelopment include:
Screening for Tethered Oral Tissues
Screening for tethered oral tissues, such as tongue ties and lip ties, is crucial because they can impact a child’s ability to eat, speak, and breathe comfortably. Our approach to treatment focuses on timely and gentle interventions that not only improve speech development but also support proper jaw growth. By using advanced, minimally invasive laser technology, we make sure these procedures are both comfortable for your child and as effective as possible.
Interceptive Airway Orthodontics: A Proactive Approach
Our Interceptive Airway Orthodontics targets early signs of potential airway obstructions and misalignments in growing children. By gently adjusting the jaw and expanding the palate during pivotal growth periods, we enhance their breathing and sleep quality. This not only sets the stage for a healthier smile but also staves off complex orthodontic problems in the future.
Getting ahead of these issues early helps ensure better overall health outcomes and minimizes the need for more intensive treatments as they grow. It’s about providing care that grows with your child, ensuring they have a smooth path to a healthy life.
