Orofacial orthopaedics involves treatment
during the growth spurt of a child using specialised custom appliances.
These appliances can be used to widen a narrow or tapered arch and/or
translate or bring a jaw forward. For younger children, this can in
most cases minimize or eliminate the need for braces in the future
if the problem is treated early enough.
These appliances can also be used in adults to
align the teeth in a more favourable position as a prelude to braces.
Braces or conventional orthodontics are used to primarily correct
rotation, crowding and gaps amongst teeth. With this technique we
are able, whether adult or child, to correct the dental imperfections
that they present with.
