Protruding upper teeth and dental gaps caused by parafunctional habits, such as tongue thrusting or thumb-sucking, were successfully corrected for this patient. At our Miami office, we used a combination of orthopedic appliances and braces to neutralize these habits and restore proper bite function. Early intervention is key to preventing tooth fractures and ensuring healthy jaw development. At Martinez Orthodontics, the specialist personally evaluates every child starting as early as age 7 to create a customized "map" for their dental health.
