Facial Growth Guidance & Development
“I treated my daughter exactly as I was trained. I aligned her bite and straightened her teeth. But I missed something big. By the time I saw the link between jaw growth, breathing and sleep, her window for easy, natural correction had pretty much closed. I want other parents to know what I wish I’d known. Proper jaw development is absolutely critical overall health, and we know now that we have to intervene much earlier. The sooner we start early, the better chance we have to help kids breathe, sleep, and truly thrive.”
That’s why Dr. Hamada recommends bringing children in by age 5 or 6 An early peek at their growth and airway can ensure that they develop a healthy, functional smile for life.
Why Early Intervention Matters
Signs Your Child May Need Early Growth Guidance
By identifying
growth issues early, we can:
Prevent the need for extractions, braces, or jaw surgery.
Ensure that facial growth (and airway development) is on track.
Encourage proper airway development for easier breathing and better sleep.
Support lifelong dental and whole-body health.
How We Guide Healthy Growth
Palatal Expansion for Kids & Adults
- Creates space for crowded teeth and expands the airway.
- Helps prevent extractions and surgery later.
Growth-Focused Orthodontics
- Braces and aligners are tools—we first focus on guiding the jaw and airway.
- A customized plan improves long-term stability and facial harmony.
We specialize in early growth guidance because we know that seeing your child thrive instead of just surviving is what’s important to you. Don’t put your child’s well-being on the hold. A simple, non-invasive consultation can determine whether your child’s growth is on track—or if early intervention could make a lifelong difference.
