Myobrace® Treatment
At Be Well Dental, we’re passionate about helping children grow into their healthiest smile, not just straighter teeth, but balanced faces, functional breathing and good oral habits.
Who May Benefit from Myobrace?
Myobrace is ideal for children who show early signs of:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Mouth breathing
- Tongue thrust or incorrect swallowing
- Snoring or disrupted sleep
- Nail biting, thumb sucking or other oral habits
- Jaw imbalance or underdeveloped facial structure
- Children as young as age 5 can begin treatment, which works with their natural growth and development.
What Is Myobrace?
Myobrace is a system of removable dental appliances that are worn for a few hours each day and overnight while sleeping. Unlike traditional braces that simply move teeth, Myobrace works to correct poor oral habits that cause crooked teeth in the first place.
The treatment is supported by a program of myofunctional exercises that focus on:
- Correct tongue position
- Breathing through the nose
- Proper swallowing technique
- Strengthening lips and facial muscles
These exercises help guide jaw growth, improve facial development, and promote overall health and wellbeing.
Common Advantages of Early Treatment
Treating oral habits and jaw development early has several key benefits:
- Reduces the need for braces or extractions later
- Supports healthy facial and airway development
- Improves posture and breathing
- Can prevent sleep-related breathing issues like snoring or paediatric sleep apnoea
- Enhances confidence, speech, and overall function
The earlier we intervene, the more effectively we can use your child’s natural growth to achieve long-lasting results.
