Proper jaw development and correct tooth positioning in childhood are key to a healthy smile throughout life. At Grand Dental, we offer early orthodontic treatments with removable appliances and jaw expanders, personalized according to each child’s growth stage.
These treatments not only prevent more serious problems in the future, but help create a healthy foundation for permanent teeth and harmonious facial development.
What are Removable Appliances and Jaw Expansion?
Mobile devices
They are orthodontic appliances that the child can put on and take off by themselves. They help in:
- Correcting harmful habits (such as tongue thrusting or incorrect swallowing)
- Guiding jaw growth and controlling the position of teeth
- Preparing for more advanced orthodontic treatments at an older age
Jaw expansion (expansion)
It is a procedure that aims to gradually expand the dental arch (usually the upper jaw) to create enough space for the teeth that will erupt. This helps to:
- Preventing tooth crowding
- Regulation of breathing through the nose
- Balancing the development of the face and jaw in a harmonious way
When Are They Recommended?
They are recommended at the age of 6–12, when baby teeth and permanent teeth coexist (a stage called “mixed dentition”).
The most common indications:
- Lack of space for permanent teeth
- Breathing through the mouth and not through the nose
- Tongue thrust or incorrect swallowing
- Unbalanced development between the upper and lower jaw
- Long-term habit of using a pacifier or finger
Main Advantages:
Early, non-invasive and painless treatment
It helps correct problems in a subtle and natural way, without surgical intervention or fixed appliances.
Individual adaptation to the growth phase
The appliances are custom-made for each child, taking into account jaw structure, habits, and functional needs.
Preventing more complicated treatments in the future
Early correction reduces the chance of long-term fixed treatments, tooth extractions, or orthognathic surgery in adulthood.
Flexible and controlled use
The child can remove the appliance while eating or brushing their teeth, maintaining hygiene and comfort.

Care During Treatment with a Mobile Device
To ensure that orthodontic treatment is as effective and sustainable as possible, it is very important that the child and parent follow some simple but necessary guidelines:
Proper placement of the device
The appliance must be worn for the amount of hours recommended by the orthodontist, usually 14–16 hours per day, to achieve the desired results.
Removal while eating and brushing teeth
The appliance should be removed during meals and brushing teeth to avoid damage and maintain oral hygiene.
Daily cleaning of the device
Clean the device daily with a soft brush and lukewarm (not hot) water to avoid the accumulation of bacteria and the formation of bad odors.
Storage in box when not in use
When the device is not in the mouth, it should be stored in its protective case to avoid breakage or loss.
Periodic visits for check-ups and adjustments
Check-ups every 4–6 weeks are essential to monitor the progress of treatment and make adjustments to the appliance as the jaw and teeth grow.
