The Dentition as an Orthotic.
What Can Functional Jaw Orthopedics in the Adolescent Teach Us

An analysis of results attained in adolescent functional jaw orthopedics has led to a new understanding of what is actually occurring during treatment. These changes characterized by an altered cranio-mandibular posture have led to a more aggressive approach in the treatment of the adult populations. Management of maxillary width as well as the vertical posterior face height can lead to dramatic changes in the postural dynamic of the adult. These changes can have a profound effect not only on the occlusion but also the symptoms associated with this poor posture.
