While the academic debate whether we should treat kids early, or not still on, there is a growing number of orthodontists, dentists, who understand that changing the morphology of dental arches and jaw positions is absolutely necessary.
They understand that the altered morphology is not a genetic characteristic, but the altered structure that is a result of an altered function of the environmental tissues. In order to change (and retain) the structures we need appliances that not only meet the requirement of the functional aspects (non-extraction, arch development and jaw development, repositioning) but also support the funcional treatment by its size and its applied forces.
