The Myobrace Treatment Process
Habit Correction
The foundation of successful Myobrace treatment begins with addressing poor oral habits that can impact your child's dental development. During this crucial first phase, Dr. Jah works closely with your child to identify and correct habits like mouth breathing, reverse swallowing (tongue thrusting), and incorrect tongue positioning. The Myobrace appliance is specifically designed to train these muscles and encourage proper oral function. This stage is essential because these habits, if left uncorrected, can continue to affect jaw development and tooth alignment even after traditional orthodontic treatment.
Arch Development
Once proper oral habits are established, the focus shifts to developing the dental arches. During this phase, your child's Myobrace appliance works to naturally expand the palate and dental arch. This expansion is crucial because it creates sufficient space for both the teeth and tongue to function properly. Dr. Jah carefully monitors this development process, ensuring the jaw grows in the optimal direction. This natural approach to arch development often eliminates the need for tooth extraction later, allowing your child's smile to develop as nature intended.
Dental Alignment and Retention
The final phase focuses on guiding teeth into their proper positions while maintaining the positive changes achieved in the previous stages. The Myobrace appliance continues to provide gentle pressure that helps align the teeth naturally. This stage also includes a retention protocol to ensure the improvements remain stable. Unlike traditional orthodontics that require permanent retainers, Myobrace treatment helps establish proper oral function that naturally maintains the improvements, reducing the likelihood of future orthodontic needs.
The Benefits Of Myobrace Treatment
Natural Development Support
Myobrace works with your child's natural growth patterns, supporting proper jaw development without the need for aggressive interventions. This gentle approach allows facial features to develop optimally while addressing dental alignment. The treatment encourages proper muscle function and breathing patterns, which contribute to better overall facial development and can prevent the need for more invasive treatments later in life.
Improved Breathing and Sleep Quality
Oral surgery can significantly improve your oral health. By treating conditions like gum disease, oral cancer, or jaw misalignment, it can prevent further damage and promote overall oral health. Moreover, it can also enhance your oral function, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Comfortable and Convenient Treatment
Unlike traditional orthodontic appliances, Myobrace offers superior comfort and flexibility. The soft, removable appliances are worn for just one hour during the day and while sleeping, minimizing interference with daily activities. This makes it easier for children to participate in sports, eat their favorite foods, and maintain proper oral hygiene. The removable nature of the appliance also allows for better cleaning and maintenance compared to fixed braces.
