03 How Underbite Correction Improved Overall Health
Functional correction of the temporomandibular joint improves sleep quality, thereby promoting growth hormone secretion. Furthermore, the balance of the temporomandibular joint stimulates the pituitary gland, positively influencing hormone secretion.
TMJ alignment corrects cervical vertebrae 1 and 2, improving cerebrospinal fluid circulation and alleviating tension in the entire nervous system. This regulates neurogenic inflammation and sympathetic nervous system overactivity, thereby improving skin symptoms.
Don't overlook your child's developing face!
During the growth period, jawbone or teeth issues, even without symptoms, can lead to an underbite or facial asymmetry if left untreated. Early detection and appropriate intervention are the best ways to ensure your child's proper development.
