Chapter 5 — What Is Myobrace®?
Myobrace® is a branded myofunctional orthodontic approach that uses specialised removable appliances together with exercises and habit-focused activities. The general concept is to address aspects of oral function and habits alongside developing dental alignment in selected growing children. It is not simply another type of fixed braces, and it is not a universal solution.
Depending on the child, the clinical program may involve attention to nasal breathing, tongue and lip posture, swallowing patterns and other oral habits, along with appliance wear and exercises. Cooperation matters because removable appliances and exercises require active participation. A child who is unable or unwilling to follow the recommended routine may not be an appropriate candidate for a particular myofunctional program.
Parents should also understand what Myobrace® does not mean. It does not guarantee perfectly straight teeth, eliminate the possibility of future orthodontic treatment, cure airway disorders, or replace conventional orthodontics when conventional orthodontic care is indicated. The appropriate question is not “Is Myobrace® the best treatment?” but “Based on my child's diagnosis and development, is a myofunctional approach appropriate?”
