Orthodontics for Growth Period

With the recognition of child actors' mothers, over 300 child actors
are receiving growth period treatment at SEOUL DENTAL HOSPITAL.

We offer the optimal orthodontic treatment
tailored to your child's growth.

01

Orthodontics during the growth period can correct
underbites, overbites, asymmetry,
mandibular prognathism and protrusion

Orthodontics can restore a bright smile and confidence, even for those with psychological issues caused by malocclusion.
Improvement in chewing function can enhance nutritional status and, consequently, growth rate.
Jaw discrepancies can be corrected during growth without surgery, aligning the growth rate and direction of the upper and lower jaws.
It is possible to prevent temporomandibular joint issues and even facial asymmetry that may appear in adulthood.

02

Early orthodontic diagnosis
before age 7 is crucial.

Children grow rapidly, and individual growth rates and
skeletal development vary. If parents have experienced jaw growth
discrepancies (such as underbites, crossbites, or overbites) in their children,
we recommend early orthodontic diagnosis at SEOUL DENTAL HOSPITAL.

Growth Stage Orthodontics Cases

번호 Crossbite
잇몸사진
원장님의 코멘트 아이콘 When crossbite occurs during growth, it inhibits the growth of the upper jaw, leading to a concave facial profile. To correct the growth direction, the use of a palatal expander and face mask is actively utilized to stimulate the growth of the upper jaw and maxillary bones (nose).
번호 Correction of Prognathism Using a Face Mask
잇몸사진
원장님의 코멘트 아이콘 The case involved a 7-year-old boy whose mandible grew faster than the maxilla, resulting in vertical mandibular growth inhibition. To stimulate the growth of the maxilla, a Face Mask (which induces maxillary growth and provides space for the eruption of permanent teeth) and a palatal expander were used. The patient’s active cooperation led to harmonious growth of the side profile.
번호 Unilateral Crossbite

원장님의 코멘트 아이콘 When crossbite occurs during growth, it inhibits the growth of the upper jaw, leading to a concave facial profile. Using a palatal expander and face mask to adjust the growth direction, we can induce the growth of the upper jaw and maxillary bones (nose).
번호 Growth Stage Orthodontics Case Using Headgear
잇몸사진
원장님의 코멘트 아이콘 In the initial phase of orthodontics, we analyze the direction of jaw growth, using maxillary expansion for transverse growth and headgear to inhibit forward growth of the maxilla. After treatment, the appearance of the lower facial profile was harmonized, and the maxillary molars moved to a more posterior and superior position.
번호 Orthodontic Case Using Jaw Growth Stimulation
잇몸사진
원장님의 코멘트 아이콘 Diagnosing the growth and development of the upper and lower jaws showed excessive growth of the mandible. The orthodontic treatment suppressed maxillary growth while stimulating forward and vertical growth of the mandible. This approach helped to correct unbalanced jaw growth during the growth phase, resulting in a harmonious facial appearance and improved occlusion, leading to a healthier oral environment and increased self-confidence.
