What is Early & Functional Orthodontics?
At King Street Dental, we believe in addressing dental and jaw issues early, before they become complex. Our functional orthodontic approach focuses on correcting underlying causes of misaligned teeth and jaw development issues in children and teens—often without the need for extractions or fixed braces.
Why Early Orthodontics?
Early intervention can guide proper jaw growth, improve breathing, and create space for incoming teeth. This can reduce the need for braces or invasive treatments later in life.
Signs Your Child May Benefit from Functional Orthodontics:
- Crowded or misaligned teeth
- Mouth breathing or snoring
- Frequent thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly
What is Functional Orthodontics?
Functional orthodontics focuses on guiding jaw and facial development to create a balanced bite, proper airway function, and optimal facial aesthetics. Unlike traditional braces that focus only on straightening teeth, this approach corrects the root cause of misalignment using appliances that encourage natural jaw growth and muscle function.
