Healthy Growth – Healthy Faces™
Healthy Growth - Healthy Faces™
Healthy Faces™ is an educational approach that views the face as a balanced, interconnected system. This system includes the jaws, joints, teeth, periodontium, lips, cheeks, and tongue. Each part of the system influences another. The way we breathe, speak, and chew influences skeletal growth. Unhealthy growth patterns can lead to future breakdown of the system early and late in life.
