Growth Guidance with Myobrace
The Myobrace System corrects mouth habits and guides the growth of the jaws so that the teeth have room to come in straight, reducing or eliminating the need for braces.
The Myobrace system addresses the causes of too-small jaws and crooked teeth. These causes are mainly related to the position and action of the tongue, lip and cheek muscles, as well as mouth breathing habits. Good jaw development with adequate space for the tongue muscle helps to shape a healthy airway, of consideration as sleep disordered breathing is being recognized as a serious health issue. The Myobrace system works through the use of a series of removable dental appliances that are worn for just 1-2 hours each day and overnight while sleeping, as well as some educational muscle exercises. |
Daily use of the Myobrace combined with regular activities (to improve breathing, muscle function and tongue posture) results in straighter teeth and improved function, leading to optimal facial development and a healthier smile.
