While the focus of orthodontic treatment is to correct malocclusions or bad bites, dentofacial orthopedics involves the use of removable functional appliances, such as headgear, to guide facial growth and development.
If jawbone structures are developing too small, resulting in crowding or the lower jaw is underdeveloped, causing an overbite, appropriate wear of functional orthopedic appliances can greatly improve the alignment of jaw structures, to create a balanced facial profile, without the removal of permanent teeth.
In some cases, orthopedic treatment is initiated before braces are placed. However, often orthodontic and orthopedic treatment occurs at the same time. Generally dentofacial orthopedic treatment, if necessary begins at age 10, and typically lasts from six months to a year.
Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics is one of the nine specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has completed a residency program accredited by the American Dental Association, of at least two academic years focusing on tooth movement (orthodontics) and guidance of facial development (dentofacial orthopedics).
Dr. Robinson has received extensive training in orthodontics, which enables him to diagnose and establish a treatment plan that incorporates both orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic treatment.
Dentofacial Orthopedics Reviews
Dr Robinson & Dr Natha are compassionate, talented, and extremely skilled orthodontists! They listen to their patients needs and provide quality care. They go out of their way to make you feel like family at the practice! We’ve had one child complete orthodontic treatment, one currently receiving treatment, and plan to use this practice again on our youngest child when the time is right. I highly recommend this orthodontic practice!
