Early Interceptive Orthodontics

Breathe easy with holistic treatment at Braces ‘n’ Faces

At Braces ‘n’ Faces we aim to remedy the probable causes behind orthodontic treatment with breathing techniques and aligning posture at a young age.

Breathing Techniques

Most children and adults are mouth breathers. Children who breathe through the mouth are more likely to have jaw setbacks as their tongues are not correctly positioned at the top of the mouth. This is why it is important to develop proper breathing techniques at a young age so orthodontic treatment is not required in adulthood.

At Braces ‘n’ Faces we offer capno Trainer, a fixture that corrects breathing behaviours for children and adults and offer exercises that promote nasal breathing. In these early stages it is also easier to alter growth patterns for children with small and large chins.

Posture techniques

Chiropractors can also assist our patients with correct posture techniques affecting orthodontic issues. Breathing starts from the diaphragm and correct posture is a key element in accurate breathing which affects the orthodontics.
