Yes jaw modification is completely safe, pain free and necessary.
A major benefit of receiving orthodontic treatment in childhood is that it's possible to take full advantage of a youngster's own natural growth process to treat or even prevent malocclusions (“bad bites”).
Most of the time, orthodontic treatment involves moving the teeth into better positions with braces or clear aligners. While these are the most familiar appliances used in orthodontic treatment, we may also recommend devices called “functional appliances” to help correct more serious bite problems. Functional appliances are designed to harness natural forces (such as those produced by muscular activity and jaw growth) to bring the bite into better alignment. Examples of functional appliances include the Activator, Bionator, Twin Block, Herbst appliances and Myobrace.
During Jaw Modification the child will only have to wear the appliances for a few hours during the day and while sleeping. This treatment is easy on the child as they don’t have to wear it all the time and it is completely pain free.
