While orthodontics is a focus on the teeth themselves, orthopaedic treatments focus on the jaws. In particular they are designed to influence the growth and shape of the jaws.
With nearly one third of the world having issues with irregular shape and size of the jaws, in particular the lower jaw, it is a growing field of study and practice. The goal of orthopaedic treatments of the jaws is to help correct the disparities between the upper and lower jaws that create misalignment.
Typically treatment would begin in the patient’s younger years, as they jaws are still going through growing phases. The methods that can be used would depend on the individual and are discussed with the patient and guardian.
When regular orthopaedic or orthodontic treatments are not an option or fail to correct the problems present, then surgery becomes the next option.
Surgery for the jaws can correct deformities and disparages between the upper and lower jaw. The main reasons why people will seek these treatments is because there is a loss in jaw function and to correct the appearance of the deformity.
Both the upper and lower jaw can be operated on to fix the problems caused by a malformation, which include: facial muscle issues, speech difficulties, eating issues, gum and palate problems.
When more than one treatment method is required to achieve a dental goal, then it is considered multi-disciplinary. This can mean that your orthopedist may use more than one technique to help you get the smile you deserve and need. Often times you will see this approach used when correcting malformation of the jaws.
None surgical treatments or surgical options will often be followed by orthodontic techniques, such as braces, to help bring the teeth back into alignment after improper jaw growth had caused them to come in improperly.
A consultation fee of £80 is applicable which
will be deducted from your first treatment.
