What is Functional Orthodontics?
Functional orthodontics is a modern approach that focuses on treating the causes of dental misalignment—like mouth breathing, tongue posture, and incorrect swallowing—rather than just straightening teeth.
Using gentle, removable appliances, it starts early (from 3 years old) to guide jaw growth, improve breathing, and help avoid more complex treatments later.
📱 PandaSmile – The App That Supports Your Child’s Treatment
Functional orthodontics is a modern, natural approach that focuses on treating the causes of dental misalignment—like mouth breathing, poor tongue posture, and incorrect swallowing—rather than just straightening teeth.
It uses gentle, removable appliances and can begin as early as age 3 to support healthy jaw growth, improve breathing, and reduce the need for more invasive treatments later.
In many ways, it’s a “bio” treatment: it works with the body to remove obstacles and help each child reach their full growth and developmental potential—naturally.
"PandaSmile has been a real game-changer for us. The app acts like a little coach at home — with friendly reminders that helped my daughter wear her appliance correctly every day. She actually enjoyed doing the exercises! Thanks to the guidance and structure PandaSmile provides, her treatment has progressed beautifully. We saw noticeable improvements in just a few months."
