Jaw growth guidance, also known as orthodontic or orthopedic treatment, is aimed at guiding the growth and development of the jaws in children and adolescents. By influencing the growth pattern of the jaws, orthodontists can correct abnormalities such as underbites, overbites, crossbites, and misalignments. This is often achieved through the use of appliances like expanders, functional appliances, or headgear, which exert gentle pressure on the jaws to encourage proper growth and alignment. Jaw growth guidance treatment is typically initiated during childhood or adolescence when the jawbones are still developing, offering a proactive approach to addressing orthodontic issues and achieving optimal facial harmony and function.
