The growth and development of a child’s mouth and jaw are an important part of overall development of the face. At Smilecity, our specialized Orthodontist & Paedodontist team is dedicated to guiding your child’s facial growth and development. We provide personalized care to correct facial growth issues, setting the stage for a lifetime of confident smiles.
“Facial growth correction in children” is the process of guiding and modifying a child’s facial development by using orthodontic appliances to address imbalances in jaw growth, typically done during childhood when the bones are still actively developing, allowing for better correction of issues like misaligned jaws or disproportionate facial features; early diagnosis and treatment by an orthodontist is key to achieving optimal results.
