Myobrace in Beverly, MA
Myobrace corrects the habits that push teeth out of line in the first place: mouth breathing, tongue thrust, and incorrect swallowing.
Rather than only straightening teeth, it addresses why they grew crooked, which is why it works best in children while the face and jaw are still developing.
Adults benefit too, especially from learning to breathe through the nose.
Best for ages 3 to 15
Worn 1 to 2 hours a day, plus overnight
Treats the cause, not just the teeth
Pairs with simple daily exercises
How Myobrace Works
Myobrace uses a series of removable appliances worn about one to two hours during the day and overnight while sleeping.
Each one trains the tongue, lips, and jaw toward their correct resting position and retrains how a child breathes and swallows. Paired with simple daily exercises, the appliance corrects the habits that crowd teeth, so many children need little or no traditional orthodontics later.
Because it works with growth, Myobrace is most effective for children between three and fifteen, while the jaw and face are still forming. Started early, it guides that development in the right direction from the beginning.
Adults use it too, most often to break a mouth-breathing habit and settle the tongue into a healthier position, though the structural changes come more slowly once growth is complete.
Myobrace is one of the ways we guide healthy jaw growth and correct the habits behind crooked teeth.
