Myobrace®

If you are looking for an effective preventative pre-orthodontic approach to correcting the underlying causes of your child’s teeth alignment, the Myobrace® System might be what you have been looking for! Prairie Dental is pleased to offer Myobrace® treatment to help your growing child achieve a straight smile!

Myobrace® is a progressive preventative orthodontic treatment designed to address various dental and orthodontic issues, primarily focusing on correcting improper jaw and muscle function in children between 7-11 years old. Unlike traditional braces, Myobrace® addresses the underlying causes of misalignments, rather than solely concentrating on correcting the teeth. This system incorporates a series of removable dental appliances that encourage proper oral habits and natural facial development in growing children.

Myobrace® is particularly effective in treating issues such as crowded teeth, overbites, underbites and incorrect jaw development. It works by promoting healthy breathing, tongue posture and swallowing patterns, which play crucial roles in influencing dental and facial development. By guiding the facial muscles and jaw into proper alignment, Myobrace® aids in achieving a harmonious and balanced oral environment, leading to a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing smile. This innovative approach makes Myobrace® a great option for those seeking a comprehensive and preventative method for orthodontic correction for their growing children.

The Myobrace® System comprises a set of devices that are worn for one hour daily and overnight while your child is asleep. These appliances play a key role in rectifying improper oral habits, expanding the arch-form, and applying gentle forces to align the teeth and jaws. The selection of specific appliances depends on the child’s age and the nature of their orthodontic concerns. Additionally, the patient education program, Myobrace® Activities, complements this system by addressing myofunctional habits that contribute to incorrect dental and jaw development. These activities, involving breathing, tongue, swallowing, lip, and cheek exercises, are to be performed twice daily alongside the use of the Myobrace® appliance to enhance corrective outcomes.
