- The term often confuses patients. Dental facial orthopedics refer to the treatment of the relationship between the upper and lower jaws. The goal is to lay a better foundation for teeth to come in.
- The practice of dental facial orthopedics attempts to bring these structures into a normalized position. This enhances the patient’s dental aesthetics. Furthermore, it creates a better future for the structural relationship of the joints.
- The practice of orthodontics formerly served the purpose of being a camouflaging technique. Teeth were moved to camouflage underlying skeletal relationships.
- Today, we attempt to treat much younger patients. We utilize the additional years of growth to change the jaws’ position or relationship to one another. By doing so, we are practicing dental facial orthopedics.
