Craniofacial Orthodontics
Craniofacial anomalies affect a child’s ability to eat, hear and speak. Our team at CHOC understands that both congenital and acquired craniofacial anomalies can have lasting effects on a child’s daily life and overall psychosocial development.
In order to effectively treat these conditions, our highly specialized craniofacial orthodontics team uses advanced techniques within the framework of a multidisciplinary team approach to help restore balance and function. At CHOC, we believe that conditions affecting the craniofacial complex and stomatognathic system shouldn’t put childhood on pause.
