Myobrace® Orthodontics for Children in Brisbane
Statistics show that 3 out of 4 children have crowded teeth these days and their jaws are developing incorrectly. We find these problems even in 3-4 years old kids.
Myobrace® can be considered as a preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that for the underlying causes of crooked teeth, allowing for natural growth and development and often can negate the use or requirement for costly dental braces and clear aligners throughout teenage years
Our skilled dentists can advise if the Myobrace system is right for your child.
What Is Myofunctional Therapy?
Myofunctional therapy is simply a series of exercises designed to improve the function of muscles in the face, mouth, and tongue. It helps correct issues like improper swallowing, tongue thrusting, and incorrect oral posture, which can contribute to problems with breathing, speech, and dental alignment problems. This therapy is often used in conjunction with Myobrace to guide natural jaw development, improve breathing habits, and straighten teeth without braces.
The therapy focuses on retraining muscles to promote healthy nasal breathing, proper tongue placement, and correct swallowing patterns. Addressing these root causes early can help prevent more severe orthodontic issues and improve overall health and wellbeing.
Correcting Bad Oral Habits
Myobrace uses myofunctional orthodontic techniques to fix the incorrect oral habits. They are removable appliances that train the tongue to position correctly, improve the arrangement of the muscles in the mouth and apply light forces to align teeth.

A Convenient & Straightforward Treatment Process
Myobrace treatment does not involve wearing braces or using dental appliances 24 /7. The Myobrace appliance needs to be worn one to two hours each day and overnight while sleeping. Also, some simple mouth and lip exercises should be done each day and that’s all that is required in the treatment process
The aim of Myobrace is correcting the cause of crooked teeth and underdeveloped jaws and that’s the reason it works best for patients who are still growing. And it’s always best to start sooner as habits become harder to correct in older patients.
Myobrace reduces the need for costly and lengthy Orthodontic treatments later in life and lowers the chance of relapse of orthodontic treatments and the need for life-long retainers.
