The goal of functional orthodontics for children is to make use of a child's growth potential during the transition from primary to permanent teeth (approximately ages 6-10). Through orthodontic appliances, it helps correct poor oral habits (such as mouth breathing), guides normal jaw development, creates sufficient space for permanent teeth, and helps avoid more complex orthodontic treatment in the future.

Orthodontic treatment at this stage is mainly carried out after most of the permanent teeth have erupted. The dentist takes advantage of the faster tooth movement and the fact that the bones are still developing during this period to efficiently adjust tooth alignment and bite, achieving ideal treatment results.

The goal of adult orthodontics is to improve appearance and bite function, but because the jawbone has already fully developed and growth potential can no longer be utilized, treatment places greater emphasis on periodontal health and bite stability. In some cases, tooth extraction or temporary anchorage devices may be needed to complete the treatment.

Traditional orthodontics mainly uses metal or ceramic braces and archwires to move teeth. It can address various complex alignment issues, with stable and reliable results, and is a long-established and widely used orthodontic treatment.

The feature of self-ligating orthodontics is that the brackets themselves have a sliding cover design that directly secures the archwire, reducing friction and allowing teeth to move more smoothly, potentially shortening treatment time and improving comfort during orthodontic treatment.

Clear aligners are a treatment method that uses customized transparent trays to move the teeth. Their biggest advantages are aesthetics and removability, allowing you to complete orthodontic treatment almost without noticing it, while also making daily cleaning more convenient.

Orthognathic surgery combined with orthodontic treatment is for patients with severe skeletal malocclusion. By surgically adjusting the position of the upper and lower jaws and combining it with orthodontic treatment, it thoroughly improves occlusal function and chewing efficiency while also achieving significant facial esthetic improvement.
