What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is a dental specialty focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and conditions affecting the supporting structures of teeth.

Align teeth whilst sleeping

The therapy utilizes a series of oral appliances called Myobrace, which are worn for 1-2 hours each day and overnight while sleeping. These appliances help to retrain the muscles of the tongue and mouth, guiding them into proper positions. This, in turn, encourages the development of a wider dental arch and straighter teeth naturally, without the need for traditional braces in many cases.

What can Myobrace do?

Key goals of Myobrace Myofunctional Therapy include:

• promoting nasal breathing
• correcting tongue posture
• improving lip seal
• and establishing a more balanced facial muscle function.

By addressing these fundamental aspects of oral function during a child's growth and development phase, Myobrace aims to create a healthier oral environment conducive to proper dental alignment.

At 25, Devonshire Place we recommend Myobrace for children between the ages of 5-15, as this is when significant dental and skeletal growth occurs, making it an ideal time to intervene and guide proper oral habits.
