Early Orthotropics [5 To 11 YRS.]

Early Orthotropic treatment (between the ages 5 and 11 years old) is directed toward enlarging and enhancing the overall "Tongue Space" of the Oral Cavity. This is accomplished by slowly widening the upper and lower dental arches, and at the same time, the patient also is repeatedly self-repositioning their lower jaw (mandible) to its most forward (protractive) position with the help of a comfortable removable appliance. This allows a permanent forward growth of the lower jaw, during the patient's very active skeletal growth period. Ultimately, this will result in a permanent horizontal (forward)) growth of the lower jaw. The positive effect of this is to dramatically improved facial profile and to create a very robust Airway enhancement.

The "principle goal" for effective treatment of Orthotropics for all ages, and especially in the Early Orthotropic treatment, is the ability for the patient to achieve an effective and duplicatable "Resting Oral Posture". [The definition of "Resting Oral Posture" is: 1. Lips comfortably closed; 2. Teeth together; 3. Tongue against the Palate]. The ability to achieve this proper "Resting Oral Posture" results in a "Life Changing" Facial profile improvement, as well as significant Airway enhancement.

Testimonials

Dear Newport Center Orthodontics,

Dr. William Brady was recommended by my dentist because my orthodontic problem included a severe jaw overbite relationship which my dentist said needed an expert orthodontic practitioner to diagnose and to treat. Dr. Brady was very willing to tackle my extreme case and has been exceedingly professional and able in both his communication and case planning skills. After completing and solving my difficult orthodontic problem, I could not be more pleased with the very successful outcome, and will continue to recommend Dr. Brady highly to my friends, family and patients.

P.S. In each of my visits to Dr. Brady's office I have noted that he has been able to surround himself with highly trained and very skilled orthodontic assistants, which aids in continuing his enduring reputation and professional success.

Dr. S. Steven R., M.D.

Dr. Brady, as you know I have been an Orange County businessman for several years. I never thought that my crooked front teeth ever affected my marketing success until I came to you, with my wife's insistence, and began orthodontic treatment with Invisalign. After completing the job in record time, I now feel that indeed a pleasant smile is extremely important to a salesperson's self-confidence, and that sales effectiveness may be increased by a factor of several fold with a new beautiful smile. Dr. Brady, thank you for your fine professional work, and I will continue to recommend you and your fine staff every time I get the chance.
