Sharing buttons:
hello I'm dr. long kang one of the
orthodontist at luke orthodontics today
i would like to talk about the growth of
the lower jaw
many parents bring their children to see
us because of the children small lower
jaws a child who has a small lower jaw
often presents with produced if top
teeth as well as a big gap between the
top and bottom front teeth this type of
dental facial disharmony it's called
class to mail occlusion it is very
common type of disharmony we see every
day in the clinic especially in young
teenagers our jaws grow in proportion to
our fates the sizes of our top and
bottom jaws are mostly predetermined by
gene the lower jaw generally grows
slower than a top job before puberty
however the lower jaw has more growth
potential than the top drawer when
children reached their puberty for
children with only mild to moderate
discrepancy between the top and bottom
jaw the growth of the lower jaw can be
encouraged and modified to match the top
during puberty by a jaw plate but it is
less likely to work in children with
significant small jaw and severe class
to mouth cushion if you have any concern
about your children's small lower jaw
come to see us at the look orthodontics
you
