Growth Modification Appliances
Growth Modification Appliances
At Dental Oasis, we offer growth modification appliances as part of our comprehensive orthodontic services. These specialized devices are designed to guide the growth and development of the jawbone in children and adolescents, addressing issues such as malocclusion and misaligned bites. By utilizing these appliances during the active growth stages, we can correct skeletal and dental problems more effectively, often reducing the need for more invasive treatments later in life.
Signs You Need Growth Modification Appliances
Growth modification appliances are recommended for children experiencing various dental and skeletal issues, including:
- Malocclusion: Poor alignment of the upper and lower teeth.
- Overbite or Underbite: Issues where the upper or lower teeth overlap excessively.
- Crossbite: When the upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
- Narrowed Upper Jaw: Cases where the upper jaw is too narrow, potentially causing a crossbite.
- Habits Affecting Jaw Growth: Habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting that can impact jaw development.
If your child is experiencing any of these issues, growth modification appliances could be an effective solution.
