✅ Speak more clearly- Crooked and twisted teeth may allow excess air to pass between your teeth which affects speech production.

✅ Healthy teeth- Incorrect bite such as protrusion of central incisors increases the chances of breaking the teeth. Uneven stress distribution to the teeth due to misaligned occlusion can create excess wear and tear on the teeth

Is Orthodontic with Braces the Only Treatment Option for Misaligned Teeth?

  • NO. Myobrace was designed to develop a more effective option for the growing child with orthodontic problems. These appliances are designed not only to straighten teeth, but also to treat the underlying causes of crooked teeth by correcting poor oral habits such as mouth breathing, tongue thrust and incorrect swallowing patterns.

  • The primary goal of myobrace treatment is to achieve straight teeth for life - often without the need for braces or retainers. Treating crooked teeth also allows children to regain their confidence, knowing their straight teeth are on the way. This treatment requires more active effort by the child than braces, but can have far greater benefits.

  • The treatment works best when started before the permanent teeth come in between ages 8 and 12 years.
