How does Myobrace work and how long does it take?

The Myobrace®System is a series of intra-oral appliances that are worn for one hour each day plus overnight while sleeping. The appliances assist in correcting poor oral habits and expand the arches while exerting light forces to align the teeth and jaws. In addition, Myobrace®Activities are used to further correct the myofunctional habits causing the incorrect dental and jaw development. The Activities consist of a series of breathing, tongue, swallowing, lip and cheek exercises. They are performed twice daily in conjunction with wearing the Myobrace® appliance. Treatment times vary, but on average is 18-24 months.
