Myobrace® is a natural, no-braces orthodontic treatment. Rather than relying on metal brackets and wires to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, Myobrace treatment focuses on correcting the poor oral habits that cause crooked teeth so that patients can enjoy a smile that is beautiful as well as fully functional. Using a series of oral appliances, Myobrace corrects these bad habits and provides the gentle pressure forces needed to move teeth into their correct positions.

Myobrace appliances are worn for only one to two hours each day and overnight while sleeping. When combined with a series of exercises to improve breathing, muscle function and tongue posture, this is enough to straighten teeth, encourage optimal facial development and create a healthier smile.

Other benefits of Myobrace include:

• Improved posture
• Fewer allergies
• Fewer problems with the teeth, mouth and jaw joints (TMJ disorders)

Ideally, Myobrace treatment should begin between 6 and 10 years of age. During these years, the patient is still growing, and it is easier to encourage correct facial development and move the teeth. Patients over 15 may also receive Myobrace treatment, but the problems and habits that cause crooked teeth are more difficult to correct.

In terms of total treatment time and cost, Myobrace is similar to traditional orthodontic treatments. The length of treatment varies between patients, with some patients progressing more rapidly and some more slowly.
