PROMOTING HEALTHY ORAL HABITS (Everything You Need To Know About Myobrace In Singapore)
Myobrace®
Myobrace® is a treatment modality that trains the orofacial muscles to adopt good habits to enhance breathing, chewing function and to eliminate bad oral posture habits which contribute to the formation of a malocclusion. Myobrace is also known as a no-braces pre-orthodontic approach in Singapore.
This orthodontic system meant for growing children aged 5 to 15 aims to straighten teeth by curbing incorrect teeth, jaw and face development brought on by poor dental habits. With early intervention, dental alignment can be corrected, and your child’s teeth and its supporting structures can be guided to a natural position - resulting in not just straight teeth but promoting positive growth and development.
Would My Child Need Myobrace?
Would My Child Need Myobrace?
Research shows that as many as 70% of children, who are as young as five years of age, can suffer from crooked teeth, dysfunctional bites, or jaw disharmonies.
This can be due to genetics, certain medical conditions, or significantly poor myofunctional habits (such as a habitual open mouth posture, mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, reverse swallowing or thumb sucking, etc.)
Benefits of Myobrace
Aligning Your Child's Bite
Ideal growth and alignment of your child’s upper and lower jaws and face.
Creating Adequate Space
Sufficient room for your child’s teeth to come in at a naturally straight position.
Cultivating Healthy Oral Habits
Your child will be taught the proper way to breathe, rest their tongue, and eat. These include breathing through their nose, placing the tongue on the roof of the mouth instead of against the front teeth when resting and swallowing properly when eating.
Creating a Smooth Airway for Healthy Breathing
Allowing for a smooth airway prevents the development of airway dysfunction. An unhealthy development can cause a lack of oxygen supply to the body, resulting in many issues such as sleep apnea, acid reflux, or teeth grinding.
Lowering the Need for Invasive Orthodontic Treatments
The need for invasive orthodontic treatment in the future is significantly lowered. These types of treatments which are generally invasive, come with higher risks and may require extractions, orthognathic surgery or lifelong retainer wear.
What to Expect When My Child Has Myobrace?
As part of the habit correction stage to adopt myofunctional habits, you and your child will be enrolled in our Myobrace® Activities patient education program. The programme will educate your child on how to perform a series of breathing, tongue, swallowing, lip and cheek exercises twice daily in conjunction with wearing their Myobrace® appliance.
Depending on the child’s age and specific type of orthodontic problem, separate appliances may be prescribed by your Dentist. As Myobrace involves the use of removable appliances, parental supervision and child compliance in their adequate wear is essential for treatment success. Results and treatment time will vary for each individual child.
In order to sustain the results, your child will be provided retainers and instructions for their wear.
