Dentofacial orthopedics helps shape face and jaw bones while they grow to make sure they develop the right way. Our team at Orthodontic Alliances gets extra training to make treatment plans that work for each person’s special needs.

Kids get the best results when we start treatment early. When we check how bones are growing while children are young, we can often stop big problems from happening later. How jaw bones fit together affects both how teeth work and how faces look.

We tell parents to bring kids for a checkup around age 7. During this visit, our doctors can find small growth problems that might cause trouble later on.

Starting treatment early with special tools can gently move growing jaws in the right direction. This way often leads to fewer problems and better results over time.

Our treatment choices include several special options:

• Growth Helper Tools – These tools help direct normal jaw growth while fixing alignment problems as they happen
• Upper Jaw Widening Tools – Custom tools that make the upper jaw wider to create room for teeth and help breathing
• Lower Jaw Moving Tools – Special tools that help healthy lower jaw growth for balanced face features and proper bite fit

Our treatment plan goes beyond just making teeth straight. We focus on making breathing better, speech clearer, and faces more balanced. Our doctors work closely with families to look at all good choices and make treatment plans that match your goals and wants.

The benefits go way beyond straight teeth. When jaws line up right, cleaning teeth gets easier, tooth wear stays even, and your whole mouth feels better. Many patients also get better airflow and have fewer problems with jaw pain or headaches.

Every treatment begins with learning what makes your case special. We use exact pictures and careful measurements to see how your jaws and teeth work together. This information helps us find problem spots and plan the best approach for your exact situation.

When we start treatment really matters for success. With younger patients, we can use natural growth times to guide healthy development. For adults, we focus on making things stable and working better within their current bone structure.
