Through dentofacial orthopedics, we take orthodontic treatment one step further to achieve a clinically-excellent outcome that transforms your appearance and confidence.
It’s not just about the appearance of the smile. It’s about facial structure too – where ‘dento’ meets ‘facial’. While orthodontic treatment primarily focuses on the position of the teeth and jaw bones, dentofacial orthopedics focuses on the development of the face as it relates to the teeth and jaws.
The purpose of dentofacial orthopedics is to guide the bones that support the teeth and contribute to the appearance of the face to promote harmonious, proportional development.
By combining orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics into a custom treatment plan, Doc Russell can optimize your aesthetics and functionality with greater comfort and efficiency.
Dentofacial orthopedic treatment is most efficient when the jaw bones and facial bones are still developing. Treatment that begins while the bones are still growing works in tandem with the patient’s natural development process.
Because children’s bones are still developing, early orthodontic treatment with dentofacial orthopedics is highly-effective and can reduce treatment time significantly.
To find out whether your teeth or jaw bone alignment is affecting your facial structure, you can schedule your complimentary consultation with Doc Russell in Athens, Grayson or Watkinsville. He’ll perform a full exam to assess your teeth and jaw bones.
Orthodontic appliances are often used with a full treatment of Invisalign® to treat the jaws, teeth and facial features with the most efficiency.
Once Doc Russell examines your smile, he’ll determine the best plan of action and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve a healthy smile.
We’ll help you make the right decision for your smile. Request your complimentary consultation today.
