✨Check out this awesome improvement in tooth position✨
This is 1 year of myofunctional therapy and guidance appliance wear. Traditional orthodontics will be necessary when this child’s provider deems ready. Myofunctional therapy is a great complement to ortho to eliminate muscle dysfunction and incorrect swallow patterns. Guidance appliances are a wonderful tool to promote natural growth and development while waiting on the appropriate time for orthodontic intervention. We start guidance appliances around 3-4yrs of age, where classic orthodontic intervention doesn’t begin until closer to age 12.
80%of jaw growth and development is complete around age 10-12, which is why I love the Myo+ Guidance appliance combo for younger kiddos.
