3D Imaging for Better Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Airway and TMD
3D Imaging for Better Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Airway and TMD
Proper breathing is essential to a child’s health, development, and educa- tional success. Early detection and correction of airway problems by health professionals, including orthodontists, can be integral to optimizing this fundamental physiology; and airway evaluation is an important part of the pro- cess. Comprehensive airway screening and subsequent treatment with the help of cone beam 3D imaging during childhood can help avert temporomandibular disorders and sleep-disordered breathing related issues in adulthood.
