Breathing and facial growth

The influence of airway on dental crowding and facial bone development

If airway interferences are eliminated before facial growth is complete, a suitable environment can be established to promote a more normal development of the structures of the mouth and face.

This can simplify the need for extensive orthodontic therapy. Results include not only a more stable dentition but also a more pleasing facial appearance for the child.

We specialise in interceptive procedures for children. Please see our orthodontic section for detailed information on the orthodontic services we offer.
