Studies indicate that a child’s facial and dental growth and development can be significantly impacted by the use of new treatments that work to provide proper nasal breathing, tongue position, and closed lips.
Early treatments such as Myobrace help adjust the position and shape of the teeth and jaws and offer the most effective results that can benefit both oral and overall health.
Used before or during orthodontic treatment, Myobrace® removable dental trainers can be used from an early age to correct malocclusions that affect jaw formation or proper bite configuration and to address other orthodontic concerns that have developed from habits such as thumb sucking, mouth breathing, and poor tongue positioning.
What to Watch for:
Tooth Alignment
- 65% of children have malocclusion (an incorrect bite) caused by irregular teeth
Breathing
- When breathing, is your child’s mouth generally open or closed?
- Does your child breathe through their mouth or their nose?
- For correct nasal breathing, it is important that the lips are properly closed so that your child can breath easily through the nose.
Jaw growth
- Does your child have an excessive overbite or underbite? Along with a deep bite, these issues may influence your child’s breathing and swallowing.
Swallowing
- When your child swallows, does their chin purse or their lips move?
- Does your child frequently choke or gag?
Oral Habits
- Cheek or lip-biting
- Grinding/Clenching of the teeth
- Thumb, finger, or pacifier sucking
