At Maple Park Dental, we understand the importance of ensuring proper dental development in children from an early age. That's why we are proud to offer the innovative Myobrace®System, a preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that addresses the underlying causes of crooked teeth, all without the need for traditional braces or teeth extraction. Myobrace® focuses on correcting poor myofunctional habits, which are often the root cause of misalignment and overcrowding of teeth. This preventive treatment aims to unlock natural growth and development, helping children achieve straighter teeth and a healthy smile without invasive orthodontic procedures.
Who Can Benefit from Myobrace® Treatment?
The Myobrace® treatment is best suited for children between the ages of 3 to 15 years old. By targeting early intervention, we can address poor oral habits and encourage healthy dental and jaw development from a young age.
How Does Myobrace® Work?
The treatment involves the use of a series of removable intraoral appliances that are worn for 1-2 hours each day, as well as overnight while sleeping. These appliances are designed to correct poor oral habits, develop and align the jaws, straighten the teeth, optimize facial development, improve overall health, and promote healthy eating habits. By helping the child breathe through the nose, maintain the correct tongue resting position, swallow correctly, and keep the lips together, Myobrace® guides natural dental and jaw alignment. The Myobrace®Activities, a patient education program, complement the appliance wear by providing a series of breathing, tongue, swallowing, lip, and cheek exercises. These activities are performed twice daily, reinforcing the corrective effects of the Myobrace® appliances and promoting improved myofunctional habits for the long term.
Why Early Intervention Matters
It's important to recognize that poor myofunctional habits often manifest before all permanent teeth have erupted. Addressing the underlying causes, Myobrace® aims to correct them before they lead to irreversible damage affecting both dental health and overall development. This proactive approach to orthodontic care enables Maple Park Dental to start treatment as early as 3 years of age, ensuring optimal results for our young patients.
Benefits of Myobrace®
Myobrace® not only aligns teeth but also guides proper jaw development, creating sufficient room for teeth to emerge naturally straight. By promoting optimal growth and addressing poor oral habits, Myobrace® often decreases the need for traditional braces, offering a more natural and holistic approach to orthodontic treatment. Furthermore, this non-invasive method of correction contributes to improved overall health, as it encourages proper breathing, swallowing, and tongue positioning. The Myobrace®System has revolutionized orthodontic treatment by focusing on prevention and early intervention. By correcting myofunctional habits, promoting natural dental growth, and avoiding the potential harm of delaying treatment, Myobrace® offers a no-braces approach to achieving straighter teeth and optimal oral health. At Maple Park Dental, we are committed to providing our young patients with the most effective and advanced orthodontic solutions.
