Children’s Jaw Alignment

Children’s Dental Alignment is crucial as they are the group that requires exceptional care and attention compared to adults or the elderly due to their age-related habits and behaviors such as consuming sugary foods, neglecting tooth brushing, and using teeth to open hard objects. Additionally, thumb sucking can cause significant damage.

The role of jaw alignment here is clear and effective when adhered to and fixed on the teeth, as it applies pressure over a long period, pulling them towards their correct position or reshaping them in the cavity and closing the gaps between them. The longer the pressure is applied, the better and more stable the results. The dental aligners in our Dental Center perfectly combine aesthetics and functionality.
