It is commonly used to help reduce jaw-size discrepancies, such as an upper jaw that appears too far forward or a lower jaw that appears too far back (or vice versa). It typically involves orthodontic appliances that guide growth and tooth position over time. It is most often discussed in pediatric and adolescent orthodontics, when skeletal growth is still active."}
