What's and Why's of Jaw Development Patterns
1
Where it can begin . . .
Underdeveloped Mouth and Jaws
- Underdeveloped upper jaw
- Underdeveloped lower jaw
- Nasal dysfunction and structural anomalies
- Tongue-tie

Which can often lead to . . .
Nasal and Dental Abnormalities
- Narrow palatal dental arch
- Crowded/crooked teeth
- Teeth grinding
- Crossbite
- Bony growths in oral cavity
- Nasal resistance and obstruction
- Swollen tonsils/adenoids
- Dry mouth
- Improper tongue position

Which can often result in . . .
Breathing and Sleep Disorders
- Mouth breathing
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
- Upper airway resistance syndrome
- TMJ dysfunction
4
Which can often lead to . . .
Many Debilitating and Chronic Comorbities such as the following:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Hypertension
- Fibromyalgia

Chronic health conditions associated with OSA may ultimately be traced back to improper development of the jaws and oral cavity.
Our Specialized Treatments
- Myobrace Therapy
- Myofunctional Therapy
- mandibular advancement
- palatal Expansion
Myobrace Therapy
Myobrace® treatment starts with the habit correction and generally works through a combination of three or more appliances to correct the causes of orthodontic problems and align the teeth as they grow into the mouth. Treatment can begin as soon as the poor myofunctional habits are recognised, however, older children have had more time for the incorrect habits and wrong growth patterns to establish, which can require extra effort for a successful treatment outcome. With good compliance, excellent results can be achieved.
There are typically four stages of treatment with Myobrace® involving:
- habit correction
- arch development
- dental alignment
- retention
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional Therapy focuses on correcting improper tongue posture, mouth breathing, and dysfunctional muscle habits that contribute to orthodontic and facial growth issues. It involves a series of targeted exercises designed to retrain the tongue, lips, cheeks, and oral muscles to function correctly.
By addressing these underlying issues, the therapy promotes healthier breathing, improved jaw development, and better long-term dental stability.
There are typically four stages of Myofunctional Therapy:
- Awareness Training
- Muscle Strengthening
- Habit Re-patterning
- Retention & Stability
Mandibular Advancement
Mandibular Advancement Therapy helps reposition the lower jaw forward to correct bite issues, improve airway function, and guide proper jaw growth in children.
It is mainly used for patients with a retruded mandible, airway obstruction during sleep, or skeletal Class II malocclusions.
There are typically four stages in Mandibular Advancement treatment:
- Diagnosis & Habit Assessment
- Functional Stimulation
- Growth Guidance & Bite Correction
- Retention & Stabilization
Palatal Expansion
Palatal Expansion focuses on widening a narrow upper jaw to improve airway space, create room for teeth, and correct crossbites or crowding.
The treatment typically uses an expander appliance that gradually applies gentle pressure to the palatal bones to stimulate natural growth.
There are typically four stages in Palatal Expansion treatment:
- Assessment of Jaw Width & Airway
- Active Expansion Phase
- Space Creation & Dental Alignment
- Stabilization & Retention

What Our Patients Say
Posted on Moora Hemanth Posted on K upendra Krishna Posted on Chekkapalli Suryarao Posted on Jyothi kanchu Posted on Mdkhaja Khaja Posted on Satya Satya I am very happy with Dr kishor and hi team at kigo dental. Their care fo me was excellent. I got my mouth breathing problem habit correction done here. This team and doctor are good. Best part is they listen to you, they understand you and they try their best to help you. In my case they treated my problem in just 5 months. I am very happy and i will recommend them to anyone in need.Posted on Vrababu Anusuri I consulted Dr kishor as he was friend of my brother and he told to go consult saying he is the best in tmj treatments. In the first consultation, I thought my brother is exaggerating as he is his friend. Dr Kishor explained everything very clearly but somehow i felt i don’t know he is not the right guy. But now after 8 months of treatment i state this with first hand experience that he is the best for tmj treatments in whole of india not just hyderabad. He is just different, he cured my problem within 8 months that too without any medication injection or surgery. All other previous tmj doctors i went to in delhi and hyderabad suggested either arthrocentesis injections or arthroscopic surgery. Usually i never say this but if you have tmj problems, than blindly follow his treatment and he will cure your for sure. Thanks doctor for helping me. Posted on murali mohan kanchumarthi Posted on Raju Gouthu If anyone is suffering from migraine headaches, ear ringing pain clogging or pain like problems, neck & shoulder pain stiffness problems, pressure or pain behind the eye. And if you have been told by some other doctor or specialist that you are perfectly fine, there is nothing wrong with you, you are imagining it, or have referred you to psychiatrist. Do not lose hope or give up, I faced all that for 3 years, went through multiple specialists saying the same thing again and again. Few dentists gave night guards which worsened my condition, then they said i need to get either a surgery done or need to get injections done into ear every 6 months for lifetime. All this came to end when i consulted Dr kishor, he was calm, listened to everything i said, asked doubts, did some tests & x rays, after all that he said i can treat you. Listening to that i felt very emotional, i sort of cried in front him. Then he did treat me, it took 10 months but i do not have any problems now. All this treatment with out any tablet injection or surgery. Dr kishor is the best tmj specialist for non surgical tmj treatments in india. If anyone is need i recommend to consult him, your life may change like mine did.Posted on Sushanth D
FAQs
Myobrace is a preventive orthodontic treatment that corrects poor oral habits such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, and incorrect swallowing patterns. It uses soft, removable appliances to guide natural jaw development, improve breathing, and align teeth as they grow.
Myobrace can be started as early as age 3 when poor myofunctional habits are first noticed. Early intervention at Kigo Dental helps guide jaw growth, prevent crowding, and reduce the need for braces later.
The duration varies depending on the child’s age, growth pattern, and habit severity. On average, treatment can take 12–24 months and involves four phases: habit correction, arch development, dental alignment, and retention. Consistency in wearing the appliance greatly improves results.
For best results, the Myobrace should be worn 1–2 hours daily plus overnight during sleep. At Kigo Dental, we provide guided exercises (Myofunctional Activities) to support correct breathing, tongue posture, and muscle function.
