Myobrace
Crooked teeth and poor jaw growth are quite common in young children. However, it is important to get these issues fixed to avoid further complications in the future. While braces and some other methods are traditionally used to treat these issues. However, Myobrace has recently become quite popular for the treatment of crooked teeth and poor jaw growth.
What Is Myobrace?
Myobrace treatment offered at Zee Dent is basically a pre-orthodontic treatment, which targets the causes of crooked teeth in children. This treatment aids the teeth to grow and develop naturally, so the child does not require braces. Also, it produces the best results when it is performed before children have developed permanent teeth. It straightens the teeth while developing and aligning the jaws, and improving facial development. This is achieved by helping children breathe through their noses, swallow correctly, and keep their lips closed. Other oral exercises are also recommended in addition to this treatment for excellent results. The Myobrace appliance resembles a mouth guard, is removable, and is required to be worn for just a few hours each day, or overnight.
4 Stages Of Myobrace Treatment
Myobrace has four stages that usually take 18 months to show the best results. These stages include:
Habit Correction :
The dentists at Zeedent clinic not only install the Mybrace appliance but also help the patients in correcting their oral habits. Your doctor will teach you various oral habits, such as breathing through the nose and not the mouth, swallowing properly, keeping lips closed, resting tongue in the proper position, and more. These habits will help in jaw development, and would also straighten your teeth.
Dental Alignment :
Myobrace is used in teens for aligning the teeth in a much natural position and giving them a more straightened appearance. While some children might require braces after this treatment, the duration of wearing braces will be much shorter than usual.
