What Is Jaw Growth and Development Treatment?
A Proactive Approach to Healthier Smiles and Airway Development
Proper jaw growth impacts far more than just a child’s smile—it also plays a vital role in breathing, speech, and facial structure. Early evaluation and treatment can guide jaw development naturally, often reducing the need for braces or surgical interventions later.
At Tigani Family Dentistry, we use specialized therapies and appliances to support healthy jaw and airway development, including:
- Vivos Guide Appliances
- Myobrace® Systems
- Upper and Lower Fixed Expanders
- Virtual Myofunctional Therapy Services
These treatments help address common issues like crowded teeth, underdeveloped jaws, and poor oral habits—gently and effectively during a child’s growth years.
Appliance and Therapy Options We Offer
Custom Solutions to Guide Natural Growth

A preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that uses light, removable appliances to correct poor oral habits while aligning the teeth and jaws.
