Myofuntional Therapy/Myobrace

BIG 3

Crooked teeth have little to do with inheritance and everything to do with incorrect breathing, swallowing and lip function, also known as poor myofucntional habits. These are the major cause of poor jaw development and tooth alignment.

Myofunctional therapy is type of physical therapy to improve: 1) breathing, 2) swallowing and 3) lip function…The Big 3. Myofunctional therapy can be effectively incorporated for children and adults and can be integrated into a simple, painless, daily routine.

Myofunctional therapy is essential for successful orthopedic-orthodontic treatment outcomes in both children and adults.

Myobrace® – Straight teeth without braces

The Myobrace® System is preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that focuses on addressing the underlying causes of crooked teeth, unlocking natural growth and development. Treatment is best suited to children aged 5-10 and involves using a series of removable intra-oral appliances that are worn for 1-2 hours each day plus overnight while sleeping.
