Want to get Jaw expanders for your child?


Give Your Child Room to Grow, Breathe & Smile Better

At Giggles & Grins Pediatric Dental Clinic, we understand that your child’s jaw development affects not just their smile, but also their breathing, sleep quality, and overall health. A jaw expander is a gentle orthodontic device designed to widen the upper jaw, creating more space for teeth and improving airway function.

Why Kids May Need a Jaw Expander:

  • Crowded teeth or lack of space for permanent teeth to erupt.

  • Mouth breathing, snoring, or sleep-disordered breathing.

  • Crossbites or narrow upper jaws affecting bite alignment.

  • Early orthodontic correction to prevent more invasive treatments later.

Getting the jaw expander for my 5 year old was the best decision in life. Her narrow jaws got better and airways healthier. Her adenoids and tonsils issues became better post treatment. The dentist here is so well versed in expanders and guided us so well throughout. Very grateful to Giggles & Grins

My son had crooked teeth and sleep issues. We started treatment very early for him at 4.5 years of his age, while most doctors ask to only wait and watch. At giggles & grins they embrace holistic approach. their protocols were simple and effective, my son's jaws are growing well now and new teeth are coming in place, also his sleep quality is so good now.

My daughter got MARPE treatment here, her jaws were narrow and she was a snorer and the teeth were all jetting out. The dentists here are so experienced and they supported towards this advanced jaw expansion process. The teeth alignment are great now, snoring gone and my teen daughter is so confident when she smiles.

How does a jaw expander work?

A jaw expander applies gentle, consistent pressure to gradually widen the upper jaw. The process is painless for most kids and is most effective during the growth years, usually between ages 3–12. At Giggles & Grins, we use airway-focused, child-friendly techniques to ensure comfort and cooperation.

Benefits Beyond a Beautiful Smile:

  • Improved facial growth and jaw alignment.

  • Better breathing and nasal airflow.

  • Reduced risk of future orthodontic problems.

  • Healthier, more confident smile.

We make the process fun and stress-free — from explaining each step in kid-friendly language to offering distraction tools like cartoons (only if it fits into your screen time rules) and our exclusive play area.

Give your child the space they need to breathe, sleep, and smile at their best.

FAQ

Jaw expanders work best when your child is still growing, typically between 3–13 years of age. This is when the upper jaw bones are still developing and can be gently guided to the correct width.
