Complimentary eBook "The NEO Way" by S. Kent Lauson, DDS, MS
When we begin to see signs of crooked teeth, it usually means the jaw bone is not growing properly. NEO is setting a new standard for the way orthodontics is performed.
By offering proactive treatments, NEO can shorten or eliminate the length of time your child needs to wear braces, AND, in many cases, we can eliminate the need for braces entirely.
The symptoms of poor jaw development and crowded teeth can become evident in children as young as three to four years in age. The Myobrace® system is most effective while a child is still developing and experiencing rapid growth. During this time, Myobrace® treatment can maximize proper facial development and emphasize good oral habits so a child’s teeth come in straight — the natural way!
Braces can effectively straighten teeth, but they cannot effectively alter bone structure that is either deficient or out of alignment. For this, special types of functional facial orthopedics can be used to solve these musculoskeletal issues without the need for surgery.
The NEO approach is easier on patients, more cost effective, and delivers long-term stability in preventing malocclusions such as crooked teeth, overbites, and other issues. NEO is proactive. We don’t wait for a problem to emerge in order to fix it. We analyze growth patterns and gradually make adjustments for the growth of the hard and soft palates.
By conducting early evaluations on children as young as three years in age, we not only help to form positive oral habits, but also help prevent the possibility of malocclusion.
Through New Early Orthodontics treatments starting around three to four years in age, an emphasis is placed on ideal oral myofunction. This treatment emphasized ideal habit training, including monthly sessions with a therapist and pre-orthodontic appliances such as Myobrace®.
This treatment is not well-known in the United States. We established NEO New Early Orthodontics as catalyst to bring these techniques to other clinics throughout the United States and Canada.
Dr. Ken Lauson is a traditionally trained specialist in orthodontics. Dr. Lauson came into the field because he wanted to help patients have the gift of a beautiful smile and straight teeth.
After a number of years practicing in Colorado, Dr. Lauson came to the realization that using traditional braces to straighten teeth is effective, it can also lead to a number of unintended medical symptoms such as joint pain in the jaw, headaches, and obstructive sleep apnea.
