Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Managing severe developmental jaw abnormalities in growing patients presents significant challenges.
  • Hesitancy exists among surgeons and orthodontists regarding early surgical intervention due to patient age.
  • Distinguishing developmental jaw abnormalities from progressive congenital deformities is crucial for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the management of growing patients with developmental jaw abnormalities requiring orthodontic treatment.
  • To highlight the importance of understanding facial growth in surgical planning.
  • To discuss the predictable outcomes of surgical procedures performed during growth.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article focusing on the management of growing patients with developmental jaw abnormalities.
  • The review emphasizes orthodontic treatment considerations.
  • It differentiates these cases from progressive congenital deformities affecting function and health.

Main Results:

  • Specific surgical procedures can effectively correct developmental jaw abnormalities during growth.
  • Predictable results are achievable with a thorough understanding of facial growth.
  • Early intervention can positively impact function (mastication, swallowing, breathing, speech) and psychological well-being.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical intervention for developmental jaw abnormalities in growing patients can yield predictable results.
  • A comprehensive understanding of facial growth is essential for successful management.
  • This approach can significantly improve patient function and quality of life.
