At Savannah Dental, we believe in addressing the root causes of dental and orthodontic issues—not just the symptoms. That’s why we are proud to offer Myobrace, an innovative, preventive treatment system designed to correct poor oral habits, guide natural jaw development, and encourage proper breathing.
Unlike traditional braces that focus solely on moving teeth, Myobrace helps align smiles by working with the body’s natural growth patterns, making it an ideal early intervention solution for children.
What Is Myobrace®?
Myobrace is a preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that uses a series of removable oral appliances, worn for just a few hours a day and overnight while sleeping. These appliances train children to breathe through their nose, rest the tongue in the correct position, and swallow properly—all while guiding jaw growth and tooth alignment. By targeting the underlying functional problems, Myobrace helps create lasting results and often reduces the need for braces later in life.
The Importance Of Early Intervention
Many orthodontic and airway concerns can be traced back to poor oral habits that begin in childhood, such as mouth breathing, thumb sucking, or tongue thrusting. If these habits go uncorrected, they can contribute to misaligned teeth, narrow jaws, and even restricted airways. With early intervention through Myobrace, we can:
- Encourage natural growth and development.
- Minimize or eliminate the need for braces in the future.
- Support healthy airway function and better breathing.
- Reduce risks of sleep-disordered breathing, such as snoring or sleep apnea.
- Improve posture, speech, and overall wellness.
How Myobrace® Works
The Myobrace system is designed to work in stages, each focusing on a different aspect of growth and development.
- Correcting poor oral habits: Training proper breathing and swallowing patterns.
- Developing the jaws: Encouraging the upper and lower jaws to grow to their full potential.
- Aligning the teeth: Guiding erupting teeth into their ideal positions.
- Retaining results: Ensuring long-term stability by reinforcing healthy habits.
This holistic approach makes Myobrace unique, as it doesn’t just move teeth into place but addresses the causes of misalignment from the start.
Benefits Of Choosing Myobrace®
Families choose Myobrace because it offers advantages beyond orthodontics. Some of the most important benefits include:
- Non-invasive and removable appliances for easy use.
- Comfortable to wear during sleep and short daytime hours.
- Improves nasal breathing, which supports better sleep and concentration.
- Reduces the likelihood of crowded teeth or jaw surgery later in life.
- Encourages healthy habits that benefit the entire body.
By focusing on airway health and functional dentistry, Myobrace aligns perfectly with our philosophy at Savannah Dental—helping patients breathe easier, sleep better, and live healthier.
Who Is A Candidate For Myobrace®?
Myobrace is most effective when started early, typically between ages 3 and 15, when growth and development are still underway. It is especially helpful for children who:
- Breathe through their mouth instead of their nose.
- Have difficulty sleeping or show signs of sleep-disordered breathing.
- Have crowded teeth or narrow jaws.
- Exhibit poor oral habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting.
Our team will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if Myobrace is right for your child and explain every step of the process to ensure you feel confident moving forward.
