Growth Guidance Programs

Fostering Healthy Growth,
One Step at a Time

Since jaw growth and development is most rapid between birth and age 6 (nearing completion by age 9) it is essential to identify improper growth early and intervene as soon as a problem is noted.

FORM follows FUNCTION

Meaning the FORM the jaws take depends on the FUNCTION of the muscles acting on them. Addressing oral rest posture and myofunctional habits ensures proper muscle function and optimal jaw growth and development.

Growth guidance is more than just monitoring development:

  • Helps correct issues before they become larger concerns.

  • Promotes proper alignment and airway health.

  • Creates a strong foundation for orthodontic success.
