What is Dentofacial Orthopedics?
Dentofacial orthopedics is concerned with how the bones of the face are growing, developing, and coming together to determine the overall function of the mouth and airway. Dr. Bowden can use a number of different treatments, like headgear, palate and lower jaw expanders, and limited braces to guide your child’s oral development while they’re young. For many patients, this dramatically improves their oral function, relieves pain, and even improves the prevalence of frequent headaches and migraines.
