Dentofacial orthopaedics is an area of orthodontics that focuses on guiding the growth and development of the jaws and facial structures in growing children and adolescents. When carried out at the right time, treatment can help improve jaw relationships, facial balance, and the way the teeth and jaws function together.

As part of early or interceptive orthodontic care, dentofacial orthopaedic treatment aims to create space for adult teeth, reduce crowding, and encourage favourable jaw development. In suitable cases, guiding jaw growth may also support healthy airway development and breathing by promoting well-developed dental arches and balanced facial growth. All dentofacial orthopaedic treatment is carefully planned and timed to coincide with periods of active growth, to support long-term dental, facial, and functional health.
