How It Works

The MYOBRACE has a soft silicone material with tooth slots to align each tooth and a harder inner core to actively develop the jaws, making more space for crowded teeth.

In addition it has a tongue tag, lip bumpers and dual arch to re-train the tongue, lips and breathing pattern, which improves its effectiveness and helps the teeth to move into a permanent natural position.

The MYOBRACE is designed to fill an active role in the orthodontic treatment for many children and parents who want to avoid braces and extractions. The treatment works best when started BEFORE the permanent teeth come in between ages 8 and 12 years. (Late mixed dentition)

With daily use of 2 hours per day and overnight, the MYOBRACE is a viable alternative to braces for many patients who are compliant.

Instructions For Use

To be effective, the MYOBRACE must be used EVERY DAY for a minimum of two hours plus at night while sleeping. Use it every day while watching television, playing computer games, doing homework, and other similar activities.

When finished, rinse the MYOBRACE thoroughly under running water then place back into the container supplied. Remember to brush your teeth regularly to maintain good oral hygiene.

Your teeth will feel sensitive at first because they are starting to move. This is normal and goes away after a few days.

If soreness becomes excessive, decrease application time, then increase to normal levels (2 or more hours during the day) when tenderness has passed. If irritation becomes a problem, consult your Dentist or Orthodontist.

Tips for best results with the MYOBRACE:

• Keep your mouth closed and lips together when the MYOBRACE is in place.
• The tongue should touch the Tongue Tag at all times.
• The MYOBRACE may fall out at night, which is normal, so persevere. If night-time use is not possible, increase daytime use.
• Both daytime and night-time uses are important for success. The longer you wear the appliance, the more effective it is. The minimum period of use is 6 to 12 months as advised by your Dentist or Orthodontist, and regular visits are important to monitor progress.
