When asked about orthodontics, most adults could describe what the term means – but what if we asked you to explain “dentofacial orthopedics” instead? That one might be a little more unfamiliar. This dental specialty prioritizes the successful guidance of facial growth and development, which helps patients achieve a healthier, ideally aligned smile as they age. Dr. Justyna has extensively studied dentofacial orthopedics and can even be considered an expert in the subject! She’ll be sure to let you know if this type of treatment could benefit you or your child during an initial consultation here at Huntington Orthodontics.
