What is Myobrace?

Myobrace is a preventive orthodontic treatment designed to correct poor oral habits and guide the proper development of teeth and jaws in children.

Unlike traditional braces, Myobrace uses a series of removable appliances worn for a few hours during the day and overnight. This system addresses underlying causes of crooked teeth, such as mouth breathing, tongue thrust, and incorrect swallowing, promoting natural, healthy dental development.

How Can Myobrace Benefit Your Child?

Myobrace works by retraining the muscles of the mouth and face to function correctly, allowing the teeth and jaws to develop in their natural positions. By addressing these issues early, Myobrace can reduce or even eliminate the need for braces in the future.

At 25 Devonshire Place, we offer Myobrace as part of a comprehensive approach to early orthodontic care.

We assess your child’s dental and facial development and create a customised Myobrace plan to correct poor oral habits and ensure proper alignment. Myobrace provides a gentle, non-invasive solution that supports your child’s long-term oral health and helps them achieve a straight, healthy smile naturally.

What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy is a treatment focused on improving the function and coordination of the muscles used for chewing, swallowing, speaking, and breathing.

It involves a series of personalised exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of the mouth, face, and throat. This therapy is particularly beneficial for patients dealing with improper oral habits, such as tongue thrust, mouth breathing, or issues related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, sleep apnea, and orthodontic concerns.

How Can Myofunctional Therapy Benefit You?

Myofunctional therapy addresses the root causes of improper muscle function, helping to correct a variety of oral health issues.

For children, it can promote better jaw development, improved speech, and proper tongue posture, which can prevent future orthodontic problems.

For adults, myofunctional therapy can alleviate issues like teeth grinding, snoring and sleep apnea by retraining the muscles to function properly. The benefits extend beyond oral health, often improving overall breathing, sleep quality, and jaw comfort.

At our practice, we offer personalised myofunctional therapy programs tailored to your specific needs. Whether you or your child are dealing with improper oral habits or seeking to enhance your overall health, our therapy can help improve muscle function, leading to long-term benefits for your smile and well-being.
