Early Facial Growth Guidance

Nurturing Healthy Smiles and Development

At PureHealthDental, we believe every child deserves a healthy, happy future. By focusing on early facial growth guidance, we ensure your child’s jaw and facial structures develop correctly, preventing future issues like crooked teeth, breathing problems, and sleep disorders.

Early intervention is key to setting your child up for success, providing them with the foundation for a lifetime of health and confidence. Let us help your child thrive with our compassionate, expert care.

The Importance of Early Intervention

Starting early is crucial because it allows us to guide facial growth before any issues become more complex and harder to treat.

Straightening teeth early not only ensures a beautiful smile but also prevents future dental complications that can be more difficult and costly to address later. Opening airways early enhances breathing, sleep quality, and overall health, setting a strong foundation for your child’s development.

Treatment and Early Intervention

Functional Appliances: These devices apply gentle, continuous pressure to guide proper development and alignment. Early use can prevent severe dental issues, promote better dental health, improve jaw alignment, and enhance airway health.
MyoBrace: This preventive pre-orthodontic treatment addresses the causes of crooked teeth and poor jaw development. It corrects oral habits, improves jaw alignment, and ensures proper facial growth, all while being comfortable and easy for children to use.

Did you know? A recent study found that children who received early orthodontic treatment saw remarkable improvements in their dental health. These kids had much straighter teeth and better jaw alignment compared to those who didn’t.

Symptoms to Watch For

Recognizing the signs of potential issues early can make a significant difference. Look out for:

Mouth breathing
Snoring or noisy breathing during sleep
Frequent fatigue or difficulty focusing
Crooked teeth or crowded jaws
Difficulty chewing or swallowing

What If My Child Has a Poorly Developed Airway?

A poorly developed airway can lead to numerous health problems, including:

Sleep Disorders

Interrupted sleep, leading to daytime fatigue and behavioral issues.

Breathing Problems

Chronic mouth breathing, which can cause dry mouth and dental issues.

Orthodontic Issues

Misaligned teeth and jaws requiring more extensive treatment later.

Posture Problems

Poor airway development can affect overall posture and physical development.

DID YOU KNOW?

Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing affects more kids than you might think, with 3% to 12% snoring and 1% to 10% struggling with obstructive sleep apnea.

Advanced Diagnostics

At PureHealthDental we use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This advanced 3D imaging technology provides detailed views of the jawbone, teeth, and airway structures, allowing us to diagnose issues accurately and plan effective treatments.
