Though some people may confuse the terms, Orthodontics and Orthopedics are different types of vital dental practices. Orthopedics is usually started earlier in the process as an effort to alter facial growth and jaw structure. It has been recorded that around 60% of malocclusion (incorrect tooth alignment) is genetic. The implication of this fact is that the remaining 40% of malocclusion arises due to external factors such as tongue positioning, breathing habits, allergies, or enlarged tonsils. Since all of these factors can influence the development of the lower face in the early stages of a child’s growth, it is important to consult a medical professional such as your family dentist in Barrie at Ferguson Family Dental.
