Jaw treatment in young children?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I don't submit much to this group, but I read your mail often. I had surgery

25 years ago and I have been trying to get up the courage to do it again.

Other health problems have also detoured me.

I have four children. I have prayed many times that my children would never

have to go through what I went through and up until now I have been blessed.

My three older children have perfect jaws.

Yesturday I had a good look at my youngest son's teeth (something I have

been avoiding) , to be confronted with what I didn't want to see. He is only

four years old and his upper and lower jaws are severely malformed (much

worse than mine ever were). He has always been a very poor eater and now I

can see why.

Has anyone ever come across any non-surgical techniques which can be used in

young children to help correct the jaw? Braces, in this case would be

useless.

Thanks,
