The Simple Way to Straighten Teeth Without Metal Brackets
Promote Proper Oral Development With Myobrace In Anthony
Metal braces can straighten your child’s teeth, yet they won’t always address the underlying causes of orthodontic problems. Teeth can move out of their proper positions when braces are removed unless a retainer is worn. At Walker Family Dental, we use Myobrace in Anthony to help correct the underlying causes of a crooked smile.
Myobrace treatment:
- Corrects improper facial muscle habits that can lead to orthodontic issues such as a misaligned bite
- Creates room in your child’s jaw to assist their permanent teeth to come in properly
- Promotes proper breathing habits that improve their oral development and overall health
- Uses a series of lightweight oral appliances that are more comfortable than braces
- Lessens the need for future orthodontic treatment, including braces and retainers
- Potentially improves sleep habits and facial development
- Can correct cross-bites in certain stages
- Helps correct muscular habits such as thumb sucking, lip sucking, tongue thrusting, and mouth breathing
Call 620-270-2739 to schedule an appointment for your child. We’ll examine them and determine whether they would benefit from treatment with Myobrace.
Be Proactive About Your Child’s Orthodontic Treatment
Most youngsters don’t receive orthodontic treatment until all of their permanent teeth come in. However, in many cases it’s easier and more effective to begin addressing orthodontic issues much sooner. Myofunctional orthodontic treatment can begin as young as 3 years old. With Myobrace treatment your child will:
- Wear a lightweight oral appliance for an hour or two a day and overnight while sleeping
- Perform daily exercises that promote proper breathing, swallowing, and tongue and facial muscle position
The appliances, combined with the daily exercises, gently move your child’s jaw forward into a position that creates more room for their teeth to come in with no reduced crowding. This proactive treatment can reduce the need for more traditional orthodontic treatment like braces later on.
Unlike metal braces, the appliances are easy to keep clean and won’t affect what your child can eat.
