This field deals not only with the alignment of the teeth but also with the correction of bone discrepancies of the mandible and maxilla
Importance of Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dentofacial orthopedics plays a crucial role during the growth phases of children and adolescents, allowing for early identification and correction of anomalies such as malocclusions, overcrowding or excessive spacing of the teeth, discrepancies in jaw growth, and harmful oral habits that can negatively influence facial development. Intervening at these early stages of life ensures not only an aesthetic improvement but also a functional one, promoting harmonious development of facial structures and proper masticatory function.
Treatments in Dentofacial Orthopedics
Orthopedic treatments can vary significantly depending on individual needs and may include the use of fixed or removable orthodontic appliances, palatal expanders, face masks, and other specialized devices designed to guide the growth of the jaws and teeth into an optimal position. These devices work by exerting gentle pressure on the dental and bone structures, modifying growth in a controlled manner and promoting correct alignment.
Advantages of Orthodontic Treatments
- Improvement of Chewing Function: Correct dental occlusion improves the ability to chew and effectively digest food.
- Prevention of Future Problems: Early correction of dentofacial anomalies can reduce the risk of joint problems, tooth wear, and respiratory complications.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Improved facial harmony contributes positively to the patient's self-esteem and psychological well-being.
- Promotion of Oral Health: Proper alignment of the teeth facilitates cleaning, reducing the risk of cavities and periodontal diseases.
