If started early enough (usually best if child is between ages 6 - 10), you can actually avoid spending thousands of dollars on your family's orthodontics! Read on to learn how!

The vast majority of orthodontic problems we see in almost all of our patients are caused by improper muscle forces that occurred during their childhood. It actually takes very little force to move teeth or effect bone development, especially when we are young and our bodies are still developing. The forces applied in orthodontics are very mild, but the key is that they are continuous. There are natural forces in a child's mouths that are created by their own oral muscles, habits, and activities that easily exceed the force needed to move their teeth or influence bone development.

Children are very vulnerable to these forces as their oral habits (these habits are discussed below) and activities frequently tend to disrupt proper bone development and tooth position.

It is nearly always these habits and activities that cause the orthodontic problems we tend to address later in a childs life when it is more difficult, more expensive, and takes longer to correct. In contrast, if you address these problems while they are still occurring and while the child is still fairly young, the job is much easier, takes less time, and therefore costs far less.

Sonshine Dental Care recommends a less conventional remedy for this scenario, but one that makes so much more sense to us than the conventional that we feel it should be obvious. This remedy is so much more effective and reliable than the traditional methods that we are amazed the traditional methods are still accepted. Here is the remedy: Stop the damage before it starts!

The primary muscles creating forces that effect the development of the jaws and the position of teeth are the tongue, lips, and cheeks. The chewing muscles will also influence teeth position. The following are some of the most common destructive myofunctional habits: mouth breathing (often occurs at night while patient is unaware), thumb sucking, tongue thrust, lip biting, over active lip muscle. Once again, if these muscular forces are out of balance (exerting too much or too little force in the wrong direction), the occlusion(bite) will not develop properly. Identifying and addressing these problems early with this myofunctional trainer can correct damaging habits, repair most of the damage done already, and prevent any further damage from being done.This treatment is for children 6 - 10 years old and is extremely natural because it simply assists the natural bone growth and development that occurs at this age.
