As a subspecialty, craniofacial orthodontics focuses on treating patients with congenital or acquired deformities and abnormalities in the face and jaw. At Mejia Maidl Orthodontics, we can help those with the following:
- Cleft lip and palate
- Hemifacial microsomia
- Dentofacial abnormalities
- Distraction osteogenesis
- Craniosynostosis and other craniofacial abnormalities
- Other dental special needs
Your craniofacial orthodontist will take care of the non-surgical portion of your care by evaluating tooth and jaw placement and working with a team of speech pathologists, oral surgeons, and craniofacial plastic surgeons to ensure you receive the best treatment plan. Furthermore, they will be in charge of your pre- and post-operative care by monitoring recovery and growth through x-rays and models.
Some may feel that these abnormalities are strictly aesthetic, but they often lead to other dental problems, trouble with speech, difficulty eating, and increased ear infections.
