Myobrace for kids
The Myobrace®System is preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that focuses on addressing the underlying causes of crooked teeth, often without the need for braces or extraction of teeth, unlocking natural growth and development. Treatment is best suited to children aged 3 to 15 and involves using a series of removable intra-oral appliances that are worn for 1-2 hours each day plus overnight while sleeping.
The Myobrace®System appliances assist in correcting poor oral habits and expand the arch-form while exerting light forces to align the teeth and jaws. Additional appliances are used depending on the child’s age and type of orthodontic problem. In addition, the patient education program, known as myobrace®activities, is used to further correct the myofunctional habits causing the incorrect dental and jaw development. The activities are to be performed twice daily in conjunction with wearing the myobrace® appliance and consist of a series of breathing, tongue, swallowing, lip and cheek exercises.

- Myobrace® Overview
HOW IT WORKS
Waiting until all permanent teeth have come through to begin treatment with braces can unfortunately lead to irreversible damage affecting not only the teeth, but also the child’s overall health and development.
Poor myofunctional habits (poor oral habits) are evident before all permanent teeth are present, which means treatment of the causes can begin much earlier than originally thought. This can be as early as three years of age.
“What myobrace® does is look at those underlying causes and tries to deal with them.”
Dr. Barry Raphael, Orthodontist (Clifton, New Jersey, USA)
Myobrace® is designed to deal with these incorrect myofunctional habits by teaching children to breathe through their nose, rest the tongue correctly in the roof of the mouth, swallow correctly and continue widening the jaws so they grow to their full and proper size. This results in sufficient room for the teeth, allowing them to come in naturally straight and often without the need for braces.
