Rather than waiting until all permanent teeth come in to use braces, Myobrace works by correcting poor oral habits—such as mouth breathing and incorrect tongue posture—to unlock natural growth and development. Used in over 100 countries, Myobrace can often eliminate the need for braces or extractions while improving your child's overall health.

What to Expect ## The Treatment Process 1 ### Habit Correction We begin by retraining your child's tongue position, lip seal, and breathing patterns—the root causes of crooked teeth. 2 ### Arch Development The Myobrace appliance gently widens the jaw to create proper space for teeth and the tongue. 3 ### Dental Alignment As permanent teeth erupt, they naturally align into the properly developed arch without the force of traditional braces. 4 ### Retention & Habits Unlike braces that require permanent retainers, Myobrace creates lasting results by establishing correct habits that prevent relapse.
