The beauty of a smile extends well beyond just teeth. Smiles are built on numerous factors like jaw structure, chin shape, and cheeks. If your smile is lacking in one of these departments, how can you resolve such foundational, structural concerns? One way to improve the beauty and structure of your smile simultaneously is through Functional Orthodontics.
Why Are Functional Orthodontics Important for a Beautiful Smile?
The structure of your jaw defines the structure of your face. Your jaw is the foundation for your teeth and frames your face, establishing the building blocks of an attractive appearance. If your jaw is underdeveloped, that underdevelopment can negatively affect the way you look, especially your profile. ControlledArch takes this relationship into account and straightens your smile while also reshaping your face.
Approaches to Modern Dentistry
Dr. Marzban centers her practice around three concepts. The beauty of ControlledArch is that it contributes to the resolution of all three areas.
- Beauty
- Balance
- Breath
Additional Benefits of ControlledArch Orthodontics
Many patients are most attracted to the beauty of cosmetic dentistry. The results of changing something about the way you look are easier to see and easier for other people to notice and compliment. What sets ControlledArch Orthodontics apart from other treatment plans is its dual focus on beauty and function. While ControlledArch straightens your teeth and optimizes your jaw alignment, it can also:
- Encourage natural development of the jaw
- Improve profile and facial appearance
- Correct TMJ
- Improve sleep apnea
- Work about 30% faster than traditional orthodontics
Partnership With Myofunctional Therapy
ControlledArch techniques don’t just straighten teeth, they mimic the natural forces of the tongue, cheeks, and jaw muscles to help teeth move faster into their ideal positions while encouraging the jaw to grow. Because orthodontics mimics these forces, it’s a perfect complement to myofunctional therapy.
Myofunctional therapy works to identify bad habits of tongue and jaw muscles that can contribute to the improper development of teeth and jaws. Our team then teaches you better practices to encourage proper development. This way, myofunctional therapy and ControlledArch techniques work together to speed up treatment and improve results.
