When Is a Good Time for Facial Remodeling Dentistry?
Ideally, the sooner, the better. Like with many things, the best time to start is now to prevent more invasive interventions in the future. But if you’re an adult and finished growing, can the jaw still grow? The answer is yes! With facial remodeling dentistry, you can still realize your full face and jaw potential.
We recommend starting pediatric treatment during the developmental years before growth has ceased and when things are still moving and growing. Ideally, we like to see patients around age 7 or 8 to begin planning the best course of action. However, teens and adults have seen tremendous success beginning treatment later in life.
Patients who would make suitable candidates for facial growth and facial development treatment include those suffering from jaw pain, TMJ disorders and obstructive sleep apnea symptoms.

How Does Facial Remodeling Override DNA?
We can help override your DNA to maximize your face’s growth potential and correct issues such as:
- Crowded teeth
- Mouth breathing
- Mouth posture problems
- Poor tongue posture
- Improper lip seal
- Bite problems
- Frequent headaches
- Earaches
- Crowded teeth
- Poor posture
- Underdeveloped chin
- TMJD and other jaw problems
- Sleep apnea
- A “sunken” midface
Using guided orthodontic therapy to develop the top jaw to its intended size allows us to position the jaw in a way that helps to achieve a relaxed physiological bite.
When your jaws are fully developed, your jaw joints are healthier, you have better posture and stability, your breathing improves, and your tongue position is corrected. Additional benefits include a straighter smile, a reduction in the likelihood of needing teeth extracted for orthodontic treatment, and improved facial appearance.
