WHAT IS CRANIOFACIAL ORTHODONTICS 

Craniofacial orthodontics is a sub-specialty of orthodontics involving the treatment of patients with congenital birth abnormalities such as cleft lip or palate. In such cases, an orthodontist will work as part of a team of specialists to provide the best care and treatment for your child.

Steel City Orthodontics specializes in craniofacial orthodontics. Our orthodontists have advanced education and experience in treating patients with facial anomalies. We understand the components of complex orthodontic treatment involving facial growth, jaw growth, the eruption of the teeth and the development of the bite. In these cases, it is important to have an orthodontic specialist monitor your child’s growth and development so that a well-designed treatment plan can be created and implemented at the most beneficial time.  

Throughout their childhood, our orthodontists will work to coordinate your dental and orthodontic needs with other treatments to get the best results. We will ensure that your child’s teeth and jaws are developing, and will work with you to make a plan for “now” and for the future to ensure your child has the best possible outcome based on their needs.
