Appliances for Jaw Development in Growing Children

In our unwavering commitment to nurturing optimal oral development in growing children, Westchester Family Orthodontics is proud to offer an extensive array of specialized appliances. These include:

Expansion (RPE)

This transformative technique involves the gentle use of a Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE) to widen the upper jaw progressively. By creating additional space, RPE facilitates proper alignment, reducing the likelihood of future bite issues and promoting facial harmony.

Functional Appliance

Dr. Hirsch, with his vast expertise, guides patients through the intricacies of functional appliances like the Herbst and Mara. These appliances play a pivotal role in not only correcting jaw discrepancies but also in guiding proper growth and achieving optimal facial balance, setting the stage for a lifetime of confident smiles.

Space Maintenance

Our practice employs sophisticated appliances such as the Lower Lingual Holding Arch and Nance to meticulously preserve space for emerging permanent teeth. This ensures a seamless transition, allowing for a harmonious and well-aligned dentition.

Facemask

Addressing underdeveloped upper jaws, the facemask therapy is an artful intervention that not only enhances facial aesthetics but also encourages balanced growth, promoting a radiant and harmonious appearance.
