This article will explore more about Myobrace provided by the specialists at Dacula family dentistry.
What is Myobrace?
Myobrace is a pioneering orthodontic treatment that takes a unique approach to addressing misaligned teeth and jaw development issues in children. Unlike traditional methods that focus on straightening teeth with brackets and wires, Myobrace targets the underlying causes of these problems by correcting poor oral habits and promoting optimal jaw growth and development.
By using a series of removable, lightweight, and discreet oral appliances, Myobrace helps children develop a healthier oral posture, breathe properly through their nose, and establish a strong foundation for a lifetime of optimal oral health. By intervening early, Myobrace offers a preventative solution that can reduce the need for more invasive and costly orthodontic treatments later on.
How does Myobrace work?
Myobrace works by:
- Correcting poor oral habits: Myobrace helps break habits like thumb-sucking, nail-biting, and mouth breathing, which can lead to misaligned teeth and jaw issues.
- Promoting nasal breathing: By encouraging nasal breathing, Myobrace helps develop the upper jaw and teeth properly.
- Developing the lower jaw: Myobrace stimulates the growth and development of the lower jaw, ensuring proper alignment and function.
