Orthodontic Rejuvenation

How does your smile get started?

Here at Innovative Family Dental Health, we use advanced, orthopedic and orthodontic techniques to guide growth and development in children and young adults. This fosters a balanced growth pattern and proper facial muscle and airway development. As these delicate relationships take shape and are maintained, lifelong improvements in health and appearance can occur. In addition, the length of time that your child will need braces will be shortened.

Our unique approach and goal is to monitor and guide the growth and development of young children to achieve the following:

1. A Pleasing and Balanced Face which equals Optimal Esthetics
2. A Beautiful “Full Smile”
3. A Normal and Functional Bite
4. A Lifetime of Oral Health

Actual Patient

60% of a child’s facial development is completed by Age 8 and that 90% of facial development is completed by Age 12. This means that the earlier your child is evaluated, the better the opportunity to detect and correct any growth and development problems that may be present. Facial growth is the sum of the individual growth of each bone which comprises the face. There are several influences which can cause unequal growth of a child’s face, and this imbalance may affect a child’s health and appearance. These include normally functioning muscles, proper nutrition and the ability to breathe properly. Scientific literature and studies have shown that when these delicate balances are altered, changes in health and appearance occur.

A compromised airway effects the growth of a child in many ways. The tongue often positions itself snugly in the lower jaw to allow a child to breathe more readily through the mouth. This in turn changes the growth of the lower jaw so that it grows more vertically. This change in growth direction makes the child’s face grow longer. At the same time since nasal breathing is severely compromised, the upper jaw and midface (the nasal bones, cheek bones, and bones supporting the tissue of the face) fail to develop at a normal rate because the natural growth stimulant of air flow through the nose is absent. This results in a deficiency of growth of the upper jaw and midface which, added to the long facial growth from the lower jaw, directly impacts the facial balance and beauty of a child and later as an adult.

Advanced options at Innovative Family Dental Health can help your child achieve a healthier orthodontic development and attain a good functional and aesthetic balance.
