It aims to consider the body as a whole and not to separate the functioning of the mouth from other parts of the body. Optimal jaw growth requires harmonious chewing, <\/span>good swallowing, and optimal nasal breathing.<\/span> <\/p>\n Thus, functional orthodontics takes an early interest in the body’s evolution for breathing and chewing. The orthodontist ensures the proper development of the dental arches. <\/span><\/p>\n For example, correcting an open bite solely with braces is highly likely to relapse! The cause of this open bite (tongue thrust, for example) must be addressed through functional re-education with the orthodontist or speech therapist. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#ffffff” divider_position=”bottom” divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”30%” module_alignment=”left” custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_button button_text=”Book an Appointment” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”20px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”50px” button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”Manrope||||||||” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ button_icon_color=”#007378″ button_on_hover=”off” custom_margin=”30px||-3px|10%|false|false” custom_padding=”0px|50px|0px|50px|true|true” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_delay=”400ms” animation_intensity_slide=”5%” hover_transition_duration=”800ms” hover_transition_delay=”200ms” custom_css_main_element=”line-height: 1.3em!important;” custom_css_after=”content: ”;|| position: absolute;|| top: 50%;|| left: -8px!important;||transform: translateY(-50%) scale(2) !important;||transform-origin: left center !important;|| width: 20px; \/* Diam\u00e8tre du cercle *\/|| height: 20px; \/* Diam\u00e8tre du cercle *\/|| background-color: #ffffff; \/* Couleur de fond *\/|| border-radius: 50px; \/* Rend le background circulaire *\/|| z-index: -1!important; \/* Place le cercle derri\u00e8re l’\u00e9l\u00e9ment principal *\/|| transition: width 0.9s cubic-bezier(0.85, 0, 0.15, 1)!important;||text-align: right!important;||line-height: 22px!important;” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_after__hover_enabled=”on|hover” custom_css_after__hover=”width: 50%; \/* Diam\u00e8tre du cercle *\/” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_text_color__hover=”#007378″ button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_color__hover=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1621px” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_toggle title=”Ventilation and Sleep” open_toggle_text_color=”gcid-4a2e7ce9-2afb-4dd5-a67c-6338b05042c2″ icon_color=”gcid-4a2e7ce9-2afb-4dd5-a67c-6338b05042c2″ toggle_icon=”L||divi||400″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”30px” open_icon_color=”gcid-4a2e7ce9-2afb-4dd5-a67c-6338b05042c2″ open_toggle_icon=”K||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”32px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”gcid-4a2e7ce9-2afb-4dd5-a67c-6338b05042c2″ title_font=”Manrope|700|||||||” title_font_size=”25px” body_font=”Manrope|300|||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”19px” body_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”62px||0px|||” title_font_size_tablet=”25px” title_font_size_phone=”25px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” closed_title_text_align_tablet=”” closed_title_text_align_phone=”left” closed_title_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” closed_title_font_size_tablet=”” closed_title_font_size_phone=”21px” closed_title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_text_align_tablet=”” body_text_align_phone=”center” body_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” body_font_size_tablet=”19px” body_font_size_phone=”17px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-4a2e7ce9-2afb-4dd5-a67c-6338b05042c2%22:%91%22title_text_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color%22,%22icon_color%22,%22open_icon_color%22%93}” toggle_icon__hover_enabled=”off|hover” toggle_icon__hover=”P||divi||400″ open_toggle_icon__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” open_toggle_icon__hover=”O||divi||400″]<\/p>\n The breathing pattern: often parents are not aware of their child’s nasal obstruction because this situation has been ongoing for a long time and everyone has become accustomed to it. And yet, this lack of nasal breathing, with its frequent rhinitis (more than three colds per winter), recurrent ear infections, restless sleep, and difficulties falling asleep lead to a significant deficiency in the development of the upper jaw. <\/p>\n This mouth breathing is aggravated by bad habits such as non-nutritive sucking (thumb or pacifier<\/a>)! Indeed, the child keeps their mouth open, drools at night, has dry lips, their chin is often recessed, which leads to a growth disorder of the lower jaw; their tongue posture is altered, too high, too low, or too forward, resulting in a lack of contact between their teeth (open bite, for example). <\/p>\n And, of course, this breathing disorder is the origin of sometimes severe dysmorphoses such as major narrowness of the palate with significant dental crowding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nOrthodontics<\/span><\/span> <\/span>functional<\/span><\/span> <\/span>without<\/span><\/span> <\/span>braces<\/span><\/span> <\/span>all<\/span><\/span> <\/span>medical<\/span><\/span> <\/span>gentleness<\/span><\/span> <\/span>for<\/span><\/span> <\/span>a<\/span><\/span> <\/span>stability<\/span><\/span> <\/span>the<\/span><\/span> <\/span>long-term<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
