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.

Designed for early intervention, these appliances encourage proper oral habits, facial development, and better airway function.

At Tigani Family Dentistry, we make it easier than ever for your child to receive personalized, effective myofunctional therapy—without the need for frequent office visits.

What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy focuses on improving the strength, coordination, and function of the muscles in the face, mouth, and tongue. It addresses underlying issues that can impact breathing, swallowing, speech, jaw growth, and even orthodontic development.

Frequently Asked Questions—Jaw Growth and Development Treatment

Got Questions? We’re Here with the Answers.

At what age should my child start jaw development treatment?

Evaluations can begin as early as 3 years old. Starting early allows us to guide natural growth during critical developmental stages.

Does my child need to wear these appliances all day?

Most appliances, like Myobrace®, are worn for a few hours a day and during sleep. Fixed expanders stay in place until expansion goals are reached.

Can my child do myofunctional therapy from home?

Yes! We offer convenient virtual therapy sessions so families can complete exercises at home without frequent office visits.

Will early treatment eliminate the need for braces later?

In many cases, early jaw growth guidance reduces or simplifies the need for braces by creating space for teeth to align naturally.
