Facial Growth Forecasting
With facial growth forecasting, the avoidance of extractions and incorrect orthopedic procedures is the ultimate reward.
Here is how the facial growth forecasting works:
1. We perform an oral examination of your child and if necessary obtain appropriate diagnostic records including models, photographs and x-rays.
2. The information is then sent through our data center which correlates worldwide growth information. The result is a Facial Print that is unique for every person.
3. Using the Facial Print “formulas,” we can accurately plot the individual’s total facial growth.
4. We will be able to conduct a separate analysis of tooth space, breathing, and possible third molar impaction, as well as the child’s total skeletal height at maturity.
Upon completion of this evaluation process, we will formulate a unique therapy plan designed specifically for your child.
If you have any questions about this or any other orthodontic procedure, please call us at The Orthodontic Center so we can help you.
