And Can Often Prevent:
|
| |
|
|
| To
Eliminate Crowding |
|
Crowded
teeth are caused by narrow arches. By developing the arches at an early
age, we may prevent or eliminate the crowding of permanent teeth.
Another advantage is that
early treatment often eliminates the need to remove any adult teeth.
|
| To
Correct Underdeveloped Jaws |
|
Almost
50% of children who need orthodontic treatment due to a bad bite have
underdeveloped lower jaws. Functional appliances can reposition the lower
jaw forward, improve the child's profile and correct the bite problem -
within 7 to 9 months!
