Supporting Craniofacial-Respiratory Development
What Are Growth Appliances?
Dentist Colorado Springs
Growth appliances are dental devices designed to help your child’s jaw, facial structures, and airway develop properly. These devices address skeletal imbalances and guide natural growth to improve both function and appearance. Dr. Nichole Anderson uses growth appliances to promote healthy craniofacial-respiratory development, helping your child’s facial growth and airway function. This is especially important for children as it aligns with their natural growth patterns to address concerns like overcrowding, misaligned bites, or underdeveloped jaws.
By using growth appliances in your child’s treatment plan, Dr. Anderson supports healthier breathing, better oral posture, and long-term oral health. When combined with myofunctional therapy, these appliances can enhance jaw and airway development, improving overall well-being. Growth appliances are a non-invasive and effective way to address developmental issues early, which helps avoid more extensive orthodontic treatments or surgeries later.
