Straight teeth are awesome, but wholistic orthodontics goes further than just the cosmetic, or even the concept of expansion and making room for the teeth, and focuses on opening the airway, centering posture, and enhancing facial symmetry.
Poor posture, especially forward-head positioning, forces the jaw joints to compensate, shifting the bite, stressing teeth and their supporting tissues, and fatiguing neck and facial muscles. Common red flags can include things like chronic neck tension, worn incisors, and even jaw clicking.
Because the jaw links directly to the skull, atlas, spine, sacrum, and even leg length, any misalignment creates a chain reaction that can restrict spinal motion, compress the rib cage, and limit lung capacity. Restoring balance therefore requires both bodywork (think craniosacral therapy, osteopathy, posture-focused yoga) and dental correction when malocclusion has already developed. By guiding the jaws, spine, and airway back to their natural positions, and encouraging proper facial growth in children, we help the entire musculoskeletal system relax, breathe freely, and function at its optimal potential.
FAQs
- How does it work? – Body Balancing Orthodontics® uses non-invasive procedures to expand arches and position jaws correctly from the start, establishing whole-body health and alignment, as well as straightening teeth.
- Can I do this as an adult? – Of course, even though the best time to start is as a child, we are able to remodel their completed growth or structure to the way nature intended it to be. As a child, it sets you up for healthy development and helps you potentially avoid a lot of problems like TMJ and sleep disorders.
