Myobrace Treatment in Whittlesea, VIC

Myobrace is a treatment approach that focuses on oral habits, muscle function and the way the teeth and jaws develop. Rather than focusing only on tooth alignment, Myobrace looks at habits such as tongue posture, nasal breathing, lip seal and swallowing that may contribute to developing orthodontic concerns.

At Whittlesea Smiles, we offer Myobrace assessments for families considering early orthodontic and myofunctional care. Myobrace is primarily used for children during their growing years, while selected adults may also be considered depending on their individual circumstances.

Myobrace won’t be suitable for every patient, so an assessment is the best way to determine whether this approach is appropriate or whether another orthodontic treatment option would be more suitable.

Is Myobrace Right for Your Child?

Frequently Asked Questions

Myobrace appliances are designed for different stages of dental development, with children and teenagers generally being the primary focus. Certain treatment approaches may also be considered for adults. The appropriate starting point depends on an individual assessment of the teeth, jaws and oral habits.

Some adults may be suitable for myofunctional or orthodontic approaches involving Myobrace. However, treatment protocols and expected outcomes can differ from those for growing children. An assessment is required to determine suitability.

Treatment duration varies from patient to patient. It can depend on dental development, the nature of the concerns being addressed and how consistently the recommended appliance and activities are followed. Your expected treatment timeframe will be discussed as part of your personalised plan.
