Pediatric Orthodontics: As Easy as Pie | Dr. Patrick Fellus
Description
Should Pediatric orthodontics be considered a discipline to prevent chronic orofacial diseases?
Pediatric orthodontics is not a fashion but a global philosophy, allowing children to have optimal growth, by promoting the correction of dysfunctions and dysmorphisms.
Breathing, swallowing, speech, and sleep all these actions are intimately linked via the motor commands of the brain stem and must be monitored at the time when the body schema is enriched with the appearance of mastication around 4 years old.
Time and growth potential are the allies of pediatric orthodontics.
Failure to treat early can turn an early referral error into a chronic disease.
