Myofunctional Appliances & Dentofacial Orthopedics in Adajan, Surat
Gentle removal of impacted teeth — fast, smooth recovery
Try not to Miss This Magical Window of Growth – Age 10 Is a Critical Checkpoint
Between 8–12 years, a child’s jaws, airway, and facial structure are still developing. This is the ideal time to guide growth early, rather than correcting problems later with braces or surgery.
At NxtDent, we offer dentofacial orthopedic treatments to gently guide jaw growth, correct bite problems, and improve facial balance. These treatments go beyond teeth alignment — they focus on muscle function, breathing, posture, and facial development.
Myofunctional appliances work with the natural muscles of the face and mouth, rather than forcing teeth into position. They help guide the jaws into healthier alignment while your child is still growing.

No. The treatment is gentle and safe. Children may need a short adjustment period, but they usually adapt quickly without pain.
Treatment typically lasts 8–12 months, depending on your child’s growth and cooperation. Regular follow-ups ensure the best results.
In some cases, yes. While myofunctional appliances guide jaw growth and correct bite problems, some children may still need braces later — usually for a shorter, simpler, and more stable course because early jaw correction has already been achieved.
By guiding jaw growth and training tongue and facial muscles, myofunctional appliances can enhance airway space, reduce mouth breathing, and sometimes improve mild snoring.
The best time is usually between 8–12 years, while a child’s jaws, airway, and facial bones are still growing.
However, every child grows differently. Some children, especially girls, may experience early growth spurts or early menstruation, which can shift the ideal treatment window. The goal is to use the child’s natural growth to guide jaw development safely.
Parent Guidance:
Early consultation is key: Even if your child is younger than 8, it’s worth discussing concerns about jaw, bite, or facial growth.
Look for growth signs: Rapid jaw growth, changes in facial profile, or early permanent teeth may indicate the optimal window.
Don’t wait for problems to worsen: Early evaluation allows gentle correction and may reduce the need for braces or surgery later.
Practical Tip: Schedule a child growth assessment at NxtDent as soon as you notice jaw alignment, bite, or breathing issues — or around age 8–12 — to ensure treatment is timed for maximum benefit.
