Description

A well-developed face is a functioning, healthy, and appealing face. Orthotropics improves general function of face as well as appearance.The treatment resolves problems related to breathing, swallowing, sleep apnea and irregular teeth. There is also evidence to suggest that improving the health and shape of the face reduces jaw joint problems, upper neck and back problems, speech problems, and most ENT problems, such as sinusitis, glue ear and middle ear infections. Children and adults with healthy, functioning faces enjoy lifelong benefits, including all those that come with a confident, beautiful smile.It mainly involves dealing with the oromuscular forces acting on craniofacial complex.Growth trends and growth spurts play a very important role in initiation of the treatment process. The orthotropics treatment involves the use of myofunctional appliances, correction of the habit and its maintenance. It is different from orthopaedic dentistry because in that the treatment directly causes change in hard tissue but in orthotropics the forces imparted by soft tissue to the hard tissue make the changes.
