Myobrace is a preformed functional orthodontic device, especially used in interceptive orthodontic cases. Its mechanism of action is a combination of a functional device , a positioner and a myofunctional therapy device.
It works promoting the balance of facial and masticatory muscles, and re-educating the posture of the tongue. It has a threefold purpose: to get a myofunctional effect, together with a dental alignment and a mandibular development.
Myobrace is a removable appliance that combines the rehabilitation of the oral musculature to the properties of a dental positioner, acting on the mouth breathing, atypical swallowing and on the thumb-sucking.
Myobrace (MB) is a preformed orthodontic device, designed for the treatment of malocclusions in patients in late mixed dentition (8-12 years). However, it can be used also in adult patients and, in any case, only for non-extractive cases and for mild or moderate malocclusions.
