Jaw Growth Guidance Therapy

Once a person reaches adulthood, it makes sense to believe that their face is done changing. For some adults, this might come as a solemn acceptance of reality. Despite their wishes for a fully developed jawline or higher cheekbones, many dreams of healthier facial features go unrealized. With the exception of plastic surgery or traumatic accidents, how else might their face change? Jaw Growth Guidance Therapy can offer many people a second chance.

Potential of Growth Guidance Therapy

Growth Guidance Therapy can provide many adults with a new set of opportunities to remodel the structure of their faces without undergoing plastic surgery. Growth Guidance Therapy can serve the following potential advantages for patients looking to reestablish balance in their faces and mouths:

• Creating room for crowded teeth
• Development of the face in a forward horizontal direction
• Improved appearance of the cheekbones, eyes, nose, and low jawline
• Opening of the airway
• Improved stability of the upper cervical complex and total spinal alignment

Health Improvements

Face-forward orthodontics and jaw orthopedics can improve several physical deficiencies but they can also improve a number of health conditions as well.

• Potential elimination of sleep breathing problems
• Reduced strain on the temporomandibular joint and TMJ disorder-induced pain
• Improved capacity to thoroughly clean teeth and maintain oral health

Facial Remodeling in Children vs. Adults

As children, we benefit from the possibility of potential. Children are still developing and therefore are also more malleable in terms of what’s possible for developmental guidance. Early intervention in jaw development can provide more opportunities for optimal development, but adults aren’t without options.

While the possibilities are more open for children, faces and jaws can still benefit from remodeling tactics made available by treatments like Growth Guidance Therapy.
