Myobrace
Myobrace is a removable orthodontic appliance designed to address the underlying causes of crooked teeth and poor jaw development in children under 7 years of age. The treatment aims to correct poor oral habits, such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, and incorrect swallowing patterns, which can contribute to dental issues.
How it works
The Myobrace system consists of a series of removable appliances that are worn for 1-2 hours each day and overnight while sleeping. These appliances apply light forces to guide the teeth into their correct positions and help improve the function of the tongue and facial muscles.
Benefits
One of the key benefits of Myobrace treatment is that it can often eliminate the need for traditional braces or reduce the time needed for orthodontic treatment. It also helps improve overall facial development and can lead to better long-term oral health.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Myobrace compare to other orthodontic treatment options ?
The Myobrace®System is preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that focuses on addressing the underlying causes of crooked teeth, often without the need for braces or extraction of teeth, unlocking natural growth and development. Treatment is best suited to children aged 3 to 7 and involves using a series of removable intraoral appliances that are worn for one to two hours each day plus overnight while sleeping.
What is the expected duration of treatment with Myobrace?
The duration of treatment with Myobrace can vary depending on individual factors such as the severity of misalignment, age, and adherence to the treatment protocol. Generally, the treatment period can range from 6 months to 2 years. Many patients may start to see improvements within the first few months, but achieving optimal results typically requires consistent use of the Myobrace system, which is recommended for a few hours each day and overnight. Regular check-ups with the dentist will help monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
After Myobrace treatment will my child need to wear a retainer?
Retention is the final phase of Myobrace treatment, focusing on the maintenance of good oral habits to minimize the need for a permanent retainer or wire over an extended period. After braces are removed, a retainer is typically necessary to prevent any relapse. However, with consistent compliance and the establishment of proper oral habits, Myobrace® treatment promotes more stable orthodontic results and enhances overall health.
How often will my child need to wear the Myobrace appliance ?
For optimal results, your child will need to wear the Myobrace appliance for about 1-2 hours during the day and overnight while sleeping. Consistency is key, as this daily wear helps reinforce healthy oral habits and supports proper dental alignment. It’s essential to encourage your child to follow the prescribed wear schedule to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
What should I do if my child experiences any discomfort or issues while wearing the Myobrace appliance?
If your child experiences discomfort or issues while wearing the Myobrace appliance, there are several steps you can take to help alleviate the situation:
Adjust Wear Time: If your child feels discomfort, you might consider reducing the wear time slightly and gradually increasing it as they become more accustomed to the appliance.
Pain Relief: Over-the-counter pain relief medication, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can be given to help manage any pain or discomfort. Be sure to follow the recommended dosage guidelines.
Orthodontic Wax: If the appliance is causing irritation to the gums or soft tissue, using orthodontic wax can provide a protective barrier, helping to minimize friction and discomfort.
Saltwater Rinse: Encourage your child to rinse their mouth with warm salt water to soothe any irritation in the gums.
