One of the things we see a lot in our office is midface development issues that cause a retrusive maxilla. This means your upper jaw did not grow to its full size as it should have. If your face doesn’t properly grow during childhood, your upper jaw is set back further than it should be, and in order to close your mouth you have to retrude your lower jaw.
This puts undue stress on the joint and causes all kinds of disorders such as:
-ringing in the ears
-facial pain
-headaches
-dizziness
Using a growth appliance to fully develop the jaw and face can help correct overbites, underbites and crossbites without invasive and expensive surgical procedures.

Overview of Symptoms in Children for Needed Growth Guidance
You may have heard the saying 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,' but do you know what it means?
