Myobrace

Dental Care

Early Intervention for Natural Orthodontic Development

The Myobrace system represents a new concept in orthodontic treatment, focusing on correcting the underlying causes of crooked teeth, rather than just the symptoms. It is a proactive, early intervention approach designed to improve poor oral habits—such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, or incorrect swallowing—that often lead to malocclusion (bad bite).

By retraining the muscles of the mouth and tongue, Myobrace encourages natural tooth alignment and optimal jaw development in growing children. This treatment is gentle, removable, and can significantly reduce the need for extensive, prolonged orthodontic treatment with fixed braces later on.

How Myobrace Works: Correcting the Cause

The Myobrace is not simply a tooth positioner; it is a dynamic, dual-molded appliance system that combines dental alignment and myofunctional training in one easy-to-use system.
The appliance features a preformed hard inner core that simulates arch wire forces, while a soft silicon outer material engages the teeth, much like a bracket. This combination helps to align the teeth.
Key functional characteristics are carried over from the well-established Trainer system:

  • Tongue Tag: Actively retrains the tongue to rest in the correct position (the roof of the mouth).
  • Tongue Guard: Stops undesirable tongue thrusting habits while allowing for natural tongue positioning.
  • Lip Bumper: Discourages overactive lip muscle activity (mental activity) associated with a reverse swallow, assisting with Class II correction.

Who is Myobrace Suitable For?

Myobrace is ideal for most children currently in the mixed or permanent dentition (typically ages 3 to 15) who require orthodontic treatment. It is particularly effective for managing the development of the jaw and dentition. Variations of the Myobrace System To widen the adaptability of the system, special variations have been developed: ● Myobrace Starter (MBs): Designed for initiating treatment in more severe cases with narrow arches. It provides moderate arch expansion without focusing immediately on precise tooth positioning. ● The MBN: Useful for initial treatment where the arch form is already developed, particularly for more severe malocclusions.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Patient compliance is essential. The appliance is typically worn for one hour per day and overnight while sleeping. Consistency is crucial for successful habit correction and alignment.
In many cases, effective early intervention with Myobrace significantly reduces the need for traditional fixed braces or shortens the time required for braces later in the permanent dentition. It depends on the severity of the malocclusion.
Treatment is most effective when started early, ideally around ages 6 to 10 (during the mixed dentition phase), as the child’s jaws and muscles are still highly pliable and developing.
The Myobrace appliance is generally not painful. It applies light, gentle forces to guide teeth and correct habits. Some minor discomfort may be felt initially as the muscles and tongue adapt to the new correct resting position.
Myobrace can address a wide range of malocclusions. For severe cases, variations like the MBs may be used initially. However, extremely severe cases or those with poor patient compliance may still require fixed brackets.

Give your child the best foundation for a naturally beautiful, healthy smile.
