What is Myobrace® and How Can it Help You?

Many Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs) originate with the habitual patterns of oral breathing, or insufficient nasal breathing. Even the act of swallowing and speech can be affected, since it relies on the balance between the muscles of the face, mouth, tongue and throat working in concert. Myobrace® is a pre-orthodontic tool that can be used in OMD treatment to correct habits and can potentially prevent the need for braces.

What Myobrace® Does

How Myobrace Works

The Myobrace®System consists of a series of intra-oral appliances that are worn for one hour each day plus overnight while sleeping. The appliances assist in correcting poor oral habits and expand the arch-form while exerting light forces to align the teeth and jaws. Separate appliances are used depending on the child’s age and type of orthodontic problem.

The process starts with an evaluation at Midwest Myofunctional Specialists. If your child is determined to be a candidate, we will prepare a treatment plan and present your first Myobrace® appliance.
