Myobrace

The Myobrace is intended as a preventive orthodontic treatment, which means when used properly it will correct a variety of orthodontic issues before traditional orthodontic treatments such as braces are necessary. Because children must wait until all of their permanent teeth come in before being fitted for braces, many times they have suffer from misalignment that has already caused irreparable damage that the braces won’t be able to fix. Rather than straightening the teeth after they’ve already grown in crooked, the Myobrace works to prevent the factors that lead to crooked teeth and jaw misalignment before the damage is done.

The Myobrace treatment consists of a series of different intra-oral devices that are worn by the patient that each serve a different function. Patients wear the Myobrace devices for approximately 1-2 waking hours as well as overnight. These devices counteract poor oral habits which are often evident before the permanent teeth have emerged, and lay the foundation for proper oral health and teeth alignment in the future. 

The Myobrace treatment can help ensure that your child’s teeth grow in straight without ever needing to use braces. In addition, it can improve overall facial development and encourage children to practice proper breathing habits for the future.

At the end of Myobrace treatment, the patient would have improved breathing and muscle function, improved arch form, improved dental alignment, improved occlusion, improved Airway and TMJ function (eg . snoring, bruxism, clicking jaw). Following treatment there is still the possibility of phase 2 braces or aligners to correct minor alignment.
