ABSTRACT
FJO treatment is exceptionally unique and differs dramatically from traditional orthodontics. Parents are demanding earlier treatment, less bicuspid extractions, and broader smiles. A national trend towards FJO treatment methods will continue because FJO treatment has been shown to be medically effective for a number of common human disorders. Progressive dentists who provide cutting edge FJO therapy are uniquely positioned to impact human development and general health starting at birth, in ways yet to be charted. Early FJO treatment fulfills the ADA Code of Ethics which "calls upon dentists to follow high ethical standards which have the benefit of the patient as their primary goal Do No Harm and Do Good."
