😊😊EARLY ORTHODONTIC INTERVENTION doesn’t always mean braces. Sometimes, the right appliance at the right age can make a significant difference in how the jaws and teeth develop.😊😊
🦷 This young patient is being treated with:
✅ Palatal 3-Way Expander – to widen the upper jaw and create room in multiple dimensions as the child grows.
✅ Mandibular 2-Way Expander – to gently develop the lower arch and improve alignment.
In this case, notice the improvement in:
🦷Upper arch development
🦷Lower arch form
🦷Space for erupting teeth
🦷Overall dental alignment and symmetry
🦷Upper and lower occlusal (bite) relation, lessening of deep bite
What do these expanders do?
🔹 Increase arch width to help relieve crowding
🔹 Create space for erupting permanent teeth
🔹 Improve upper and lower arch coordination
🔹 Help guide jaw development during a child’s growth years
🔹 Potentially reduce the complexity of future orthodontic treatment (Phase 2 ortho treatment)
Book an appointment with us to know more about the process and which ortho treatment suits you as no one treatment fits all. Every patient is unique. 😊🦷
