What is the origin of these problems?

Jaw growth

During jaw development, if their positioning is not perfect, tensions can arise.

Misaligned teeth

If the teeth do not fit together properly, muscle or joint tension may occur.

Grinding your teeth causes tension in the jaw, muscle fatigue, and pain.

Oral habits

Thumb sucking, mouth breathing or prolonged pacifier use.

What are the risks if we don't act?

If the imbalances persist, the consequences can worsen:

Growth monitoring

Grinding wears down the enamel of permanent teeth and can also damage the gums.

Chronic pain

Persistent muscle tension in the face and neck, and possible headaches

Alignment problems

An untreated joint imbalance will complicate future orthodontics.

Is your child complaining about their jaw?

Don't wait for tensions to worsen. Make an appointment for an examination.
