Growth modulation relies on the principle that bone remodeling can be influenced by mechanical forces applied over time, especially when growth centers are active (e.g., condylar cartilage, sutures, mandibular symphysis). Orthodontic problems are not always limited to the teeth—they often involve skeletal discrepancies like:
A Retrusive or Protrusive Jaw ( sagittal discrepancy)
Vertical Excess or Deficiency
Asymmetries of the Jaws ( transverse discrepancy)
Growth modulation aims to correct or reduce the severity of these skeletal problems without surgery and taking advantage of the growth potential of the individual and guiding the growth in the necessary direction
