Breathes through their mouth
Sleeps with their mouth open
Snores or struggles with nasal breathing
Sucks their thumb
Has difficulty keeping their lips together
Has an uneven bite

Benefits of Early Myobrace Treatment

Myobrace Myofunctional Orthodontic Treatment focuses on correcting the root causes of crooked teeth, not just the symptoms.

Guides Natural Teeth Development

Encourages teeth to grow into better positions without forcing movement.

Supports Healthy Jaw & Facial Growth

Promotes proper jaw development and improved facial balance during growing years.

Reduces Risk of Severe Crowding

Early guidance lowers the chance of complex crowding and alignment issues later.

Encourages Proper Breathing Habits

Helps children develop nasal breathing instead of mouth breathing for better oral health.

May Reduce Future Braces Complexity

Can minimise the need for extractions and make future braces treatment shorter and easier if required.

Treats the Root Cause, Not Just the Symptoms

Uses removable appliances, simple daily exercises, and habit correction to guide healthy development.
