Accidents are never convenient and even if you initially feel fine, there can be lasting and underlying concerns that affect your health. If you’ve had an accident that affected your jaw, even if you feel or look normal, just a slight misalignment of the teeth or jaw can cause future problems, including headaches and TMJ disorder. After any accident that affects your head or face, it is important to see a dental professional so they can assess the damage and make sure your mouth will function properly.
Untreated Jaw Damage can Lead to:
- Frequent migraines and headaches
- Trouble eating and speaking
- TMJ disorder
- Teeth grinding
- Sleep apnea
Guided Growth to Correct Jaw Problems
If your jaw is misaligned or underdeveloped because of an accident, guided growth orthodontics may be able to help get you healthy again. Through a specialty approach to orthodontics, we can carefully and gently realign the jaw to ensure proper balance in the face and mouth. For many patients, this not only treats the problem caused by the accident, but can even help improve other areas of their health too. Through guided growth orthodontics, the facial shape and posture of the patient can be improved, giving them more of a balanced and straight appearance. Additionally, the changes to the position of the jaws allows them to experience improved breathing patterns, both during the day and while asleep. This is exceptionally helpful for athletes who may have trouble breathing during extensive workouts.
Why Balance Epigenetic Orthodontics?
Dr. Buck has realized that the jaw is a crucial aspect of our lives, but through our development as humans, over 80% of patients have underdeveloped upper jaws and midfaces. This means that those who experience accidents that affect the face are even more likely to have problems in the future.
