What is Myobrace?

When it comes to nurturing your child’s dental health, early intervention can create a world of difference. One groundbreaking solution that’s making waves in pediatric dentistry is Myobrace—a revolutionary orthodontic device that goes beyond mere teeth alignment. It fosters healthy oral habits naturally, making it an exceptional choice for children.

Myobrace is a state-of-the-art, removable orthodontic appliance designed specifically for children. It addresses alignment issues by targeting the root causes of misalignment, such as improper tongue posture, mouth breathing, and thumb sucking. Unlike traditional braces, this treatment takes a holistic approach to dental wellness.

Why Choose Myobrace for Your Child?

  1. Gentle, Non-Invasive Treatment: Provides a comfortable, anxiety-free alternative to traditional braces. With no brackets or wires, children can embrace their orthodontic journey without fear, while enjoying the freedom of removable, easy-to-clean appliances.
  2. Cultivates Essential Oral Habits: Empowers children to develop crucial oral functions by promoting nasal breathing, proper lip closure, and optimal tongue positioning. These lifelong habits can significantly enhance their overall dental health.
  3. Enhances Facial Development: By guiding jaw growth and optimizing tooth alignment, Myobrace contributes to a harmonious facial structure. This proactive approach helps ensure that your child’s smile is not only beautiful but also proportionate and symmetrical.
  4. Comfort Like Never Before: Crafted from soft, flexible materials, Myobrace is designed for maximum comfort. Children are more likely to wear it consistently, leading to better results without the discomfort often associated with traditional braces.
  5. Streamlined Dental Visits: Typically requires fewer adjustments, resulting in fewer trips to the dentist. This flexibility is perfect for busy families seeking convenience alongside effective treatment.
  6. Empowering Early Intervention: Ideal for children in the crucial developmental stages, this procedure allows for the early correction of dental issues. Addressing these challenges now can significantly reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic treatments in the future.
  7. Cost-Effective Solution: By potentially reducing the need for complex orthodontic work down the line, Myobrace can save families money while ensuring their child’s dental journey is as smooth as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Myobrace treatment take?

Generally, Myobrace treatment takes a similar amount of time to traditional braces. Results depend heavily on compliance, since the appliance needs to be worn for one to two hours during the day plus overnight.

Will my child still need braces after Myobrace treatment?

Not necessarily, but there’s a possibility. It addresses the habits and jaw development patterns that cause crooked teeth in the first place. In some cases, minor finishing orthodontics may still be recommended once all permanent teeth have come in.

Is Myobrace covered by dental insurance or CDCP in Ontario?

Myobrace may be covered under dental plans that include orthodontic benefits, since it functions as an early orthodontic treatment. You’ll need to contact your insurance company to confirm the coverage.

The CDCP does not currently cover orthodontic treatment unless there is a documented medical need. Gleam Dental can help you understand your options at your consultation.

My child still has baby teeth. Is it too early to start Myobrace?

No. Myobrace is designed to be started early, ideally between the ages of 3 and 15, precisely because it works with your child’s natural jaw growth rather than correcting problems after the fact. 

Starting the treatment early will support jaw development. A consultation at our Roncesvalles dental clinic is the best place to start. 

 

Are there any side effects parents should know about?

Myobrace is made from soft, flexible silicone and is generally well tolerated by children.

In the first few days, some children experience mild discomfort or increased saliva production, but it goes away. In rare cases where the appliance does not fit correctly or is worn inconsistently, treatment progress can stall.
