Craniofacial Orthodontics

Craniofacial Orthodontics

Craniofacial orthodontics focuses on patients whose jaw, face or skull developed differently, such as with cleft lip and palate. Orthodontic care is one part of a coordinated plan with other specialists.

How Orthodontics Fits In

• Guiding Growth — appliances that support jaw development over time.
• Aligning Teeth — braces to position teeth before and after other procedures.
• Team Coordination — working with surgeons and other specialists on timing.
