When the upper and lower jaws don’t develop in harmony, the bite can start to show it. 🦷
Ideally, the upper and lower jaws grow in a balanced relationship. But when one develops differently than the other, it can affect how the teeth fit together, creating concerns like an overbite, underbite, crowding, or other bite issues.
That’s where orthodontics comes in.
Depending on the patient’s age, growth, and bite, orthodontic treatment can help guide development, improve alignment, and create a healthier relationship between the upper and lower teeth.
And this is exactly why timing matters. An orthodontic evaluation during the growing years can help us determine whether we simply monitor development or whether treatment could be beneficial.
