Toronto Orthodontist- Underbite Correction in Children Without Surgery using Facemask

Comments: http://www.mcosmiles.com Between the ages of 7-10, we have the opportunity to move the upper jaw forward to correct a deficient upper jaw. It is important to do so at this time since the upper jaw stops growing before the lower one. If the upper jaw remains behind the lower one, surgical correction is required after growth has stopped. This appliance is well-tolerated by children, as one piece is fixed in the mouth, with the face frame portion being worn at home and overnight while sleeping. Treatment typically takes about 8-12 months.
