🦷🚨 Airway-Focused Dentist-Parents… We were all taught this rule:
After lower permanent canines erupt,
transverse mandibular growth is set. 📚
You cannot expand the mandible.
Push further — and teeth move beyond supporting bone. 🦴
That principle is correct. ✅
But here’s the part rarely discussed…
Permanent mandibular canines erupt around age 10–11. ⏳
So before eruption —
Is growth truly fixed? 🤔
Or does biology allow more influence than we were trained to consider? 🧬
If your child is between 4–10…
the real question is:
🪟 Is the Growth Window still open?
