Dentofacial Orthopedics at Foster Orthodontics

Dentofacial orthopedics is a specialized branch of orthodontics that focuses on guiding the growth and development of the facial bones and jaws to achieve optimal facial aesthetics and functional harmony. At Foster Orthodontics, we offer dentofacial orthopedic treatment as part of our comprehensive approach to orthodontic care.

What you need to know about Dentofacial Orthopedics?

Early Intervention: Dentofacial orthopedic treatment often begins at a young age, typically during childhood or adolescence when the facial bones are still growing and developing. Early intervention allows us to address underlying skeletal discrepancies and guide facial growth to achieve optimal results.
Functional Appliances: Dentofacial orthopedic treatment may involve the use of functional appliances, such as expanders, headgear, or Herbst appliances, to correct jaw discrepancies and encourage proper growth and alignment of the jaws.
Orthodontic Correction: In addition to addressing skeletal issues, dentofacial orthopedics may also involve orthodontic treatment with braces or clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite abnormalities. Combining dentofacial orthopedics with orthodontic treatment can achieve comprehensive results and improve both facial aesthetics and function.
Customized Treatment Plans: Dr. Lang Foster will evaluate your facial structure, jaw alignment, and bite to determine if dentofacial orthopedic treatment is necessary. He will then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Benefits of Dentofacial Orthopedics: Dentofacial orthopedic treatment can address a wide range of issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowded teeth, and facial asymmetry. By guiding facial growth and development, dentofacial orthopedics can improve facial aesthetics, enhance chewing function, and prevent future orthodontic problems.
Collaborative Approach: Dentofacial orthopedics often requires a collaborative effort between an orthodontist and other dental specialists, such as oral surgeons or pediatric dentists. Dr. Foster will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to coordinate your care and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Patient Education and Support: Throughout the dentofacial orthopedic process, our team at Foster Orthodontics will provide you with comprehensive education, support, and guidance. We’re here to answer your questions, address any concerns, and support you every step of the way on your orthodontic journey.

If you or your child have facial skeletal discrepancies or orthodontic issues that may benefit from dentofacial orthopedic treatment, please contact Foster Orthodontics to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lang Foster. We’re dedicated to helping you achieve a harmonious, healthy, and beautiful smile through personalized orthodontic care.
