Treat Early with Myobrace - Alternative to Braces for Kids
Did you know that 75% of children have crowded teeth and incorrectly developing jaws? These problems can be seen from as early on as 3-5 years of age. At MyoSmile Polyclinic, we strive to provide our patients with the latest treatments for airway positioning, pediatric sleep apnea, and sleep disordered breathing.
Teeth do not become crooked by chance and the most up-to-date evidence reveals most orthodontic problems are the result of incorrect jaw development. This restricted development limits the space available for erupting teeth and prevents them from erupting into their ideal natural position. Myobrace fundamentally delivers airway and habit correction to resolve orthodontic problems, and can either treat or prevent symptoms associated with Sleep Disordered Breathing and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
What is Myobrace?
Myobrace is an innovative myofunctional orthodontic treatment system designed to address the underlying causes of crooked teeth and poor oral habits in kids aged 3-15. Unlike traditional orthodontic approaches that focus solely on aligning teeth through braces or aligners, Myobrace takes a more holistic approach. It aims to correct the poor oral habits that contribute to misaligned teeth and jaws, providing a more comprehensive solution to orthodontic issues. Receiving early treatment offers the best results and lifelong benefits to both dental and overall health, but older teens and adults can also experience the benefits of airway orthodontics.
Myobrace represents a shift towards addressing orthodontic issues by focusing on the root causes rather than just the symptoms. Its comprehensive, preventive approach can lead to long-term oral health benefits and a more natural, beautiful smile.
Benefits of Myobrace
The Myobrace system is built on several key principles aimed at rectifying myofunctional habits—like mouth breathing, incorrect tongue positions, and improper swallowing.
What Myobrace treatment does:
- Straightens Teeth
- Corrects Mouthbreathing
- Develops and Aligns the Jaws
- Prevents Crooked Teeth
- Promotes Healthy Eating Habits
- Enhances Facial Development
How does it do this? By helping the child:
- Breathe Through the Nose
- Correct the Tongue Resting Position
- Keep Lips Together
- Establish a Correct Swallowing Pattern
How Does it Work?
The Myobrace system uses a series of removable appliances that are worn for a few hours each day and overnight while sleeping. These appliances are made of soft, flexible material that gently applies pressure to the teeth and jaws, encouraging them to grow in the correct position, and help train the tongue and facial muscles to function properly. Take a look at some of before and after Myobrace cases below.
Crowding in an 11-year-old patient
After 18-months of Myobrace treatment, this patient has avoided the need for extractions and reduced time with braces. Correcting the poor oral habits that cause crooked teeth and improving overall jaw and facial development has created a significantly healthier oral environment.
Deep bite in a 13-year-old patient
This patient had underdeveloped upper and lower jaws. This patient and his parents had concerns about the severity of his deep bite and decided to try treatment with Myobrace®. Within 5 months the bite was almost completely corrected!
Open bite in a 7-year-old patient
After three years of Myobrace treatment, this child achieved a straightened dentition. The completion of Myobrace treatment was reached before an age when traditional orthodontic treatment begins AND extractions of healthy adult teeth were avoided.

Signs and Symptoms
In the last few decades, dental practitioners have seen a rapid increase in crooked teeth and improper jaw development. The most common early sign to look for in your child is an open mouth posture, where during rest or sleep the child will have their lips apart.
You might notice this while they are watching TV or on their mobile device. Restless sleep and snoring at night are also symptoms to watch out for. They can not only lead to developmental issues, but are also associated with sleep-related disorders, which can result in behavioral problems and learning difficulties in children. Here are some things to watch out for:
- Mouth Breathing During the Day or Night
- Malocculsion of the Bite
- Protrusion of the Jaw
- Teeth Grinding
- Crowded Teeth
If your child is experiencing breathing problems, sleep apnea, snoring, improper bite, poor sleep or any other reason to believe there might be a myofunctional problem, book a consultation with Dr. Leila Antar, our Pediatric Dentist and Certified Myobrace provider. Let’s find out if it’s right for your child.
