Dr. Kevin L. Boyd of Dentistry For Children and Families brings the advanced orthodontic treatment known as Orthotropics to the children in Chicago.Orthotropics is the interception of irregular growth patterns in the jaw. Irregular growth patterns are charted in children under the age of 7. Dr. Boyd is then able to provide treatment to children while their jaws and bones are still malleable. This treatment often provides the most beautiful facial structures, straight teeth, and prevents painful jaw surgeries later in life.For more information about Dr. Boyd or his process please call Dentistry For Children at 312-988-9855 or visit us online. There are many proven reasons for considering orthotropics for you child. Firstly, by correcting malocclusion at an early age, you can prevent your child the embarrassment and loss of self esteem that comes from having a crooked smile in their early teens. Early treatment can also be less painful since it guides the jaw and teeth instead of forcibly correcting imperfections at a later age after the jaw is fully developed.
When parents take the time to consider the pros and cons of various orthodontic treatment for their child, they often easily choose orthotropic methods. The main problem is that people just don't know that orthotropics is an option. We are hoping to help educate the parents in Chicago and hopefully all around the world about the advantages of Orthotropics.
