Orthopedics and Orthodontics

What is dento-facial orthopedics?

Dento-facial orthopedics makes it possible to intercept and correct a developmental problem early on in the child that may lead to harmful consequences as they grow. This can range from simply stopping a bad habit (thumb sucking) to using devices that help better direct the child’s growth, thereby reducing the extent of the orthodontic treatment or even avoiding it.
These anomalies affect the bone bases that make up the jaw. They may be the source of numerous functional problems that, among other things, compromise chewing, breathing, swallowing, or speaking.
These problems can also significantly modify the harmony of the face: lack of lip sealing, protruding chin, an overly long face, etc.
Dento-facial orthopedics allows us to correct these anomalies in order to better direct the child’s growth.

The objectives of dento-facial orthopedics are numerous and involve function, aesthetics, prevention, and psychology.
By focusing on anomalies in the jaw, we are able to limit the risk of many diseases:

Speech and breathing are improved, as are chewing functions.
The risk of cavity formation is reduced. Periodontal diseases and tooth loosening are also limited.
The temporomandibular joint is preserved.
The harmony of the face is restored.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics makes it possible to align the teeth optimally in order to improve their aesthetics as well as their function (reduce the early wear of the teeth, better chewing, reduce joint problems, etc.). Above all, the improvement in self-esteem should not be overlooked; this is a crucial factor at the heart of the decision to undertake an orthodontic treatment (or not).

Improper teeth position makes hygiene more difficult, which can contribute to the formation of cavities as well as the development of gum diseases. These problems can lead to premature tooth loss.

Orthodontic treatment can be beneficial at any age. In fact, more and more adults are relying on orthodontics to improve the appearance and health of their smile.
