We can observe significant differences between a kid's face and a adult's face. Sometimes, typical babay face is referded as round and short. On the other hand adult face is refered as long and distinct. This is because our faces and jaws change their shapes as we are aging. Although we are likely to miss these changes, our faces and jaws are surely growing as well as our bodies and bones.

However, we always have to pay attentions to the abnormal growth of faces and jaws. We will never get well-aligned teeth unless our jaws are well-balanced in respect to their sizes and shapes. Orthodontists can control the balance of the jaws only in the period ranging childhood to adolescence. Therefore, it is very important to give a orthodontic treatment at early age. If you spend this period without a proper care, you will have to pay more to get your teeth neat and clean later.

Orthodontists are specialized in not only aligning teeth but also managing facial growth. At Osaka University Dental Hospital Orthodontic Department, our skillfull staffs plan and manage the growth of your jaws and face. Our comittment is helping you have the best result at the end of the treatment. If you feel uncomfortable about your teeth or jaws' movement, we recommend you to contact us as soon as possible.
