Myobrace in Killara

Early Orthodontic Support for Growing Smiles

If your child has bad oral habits, Myobrace may be recommended as an early orthodontic treatment option. At Killara Dental, we provide Myobrace in East Killara, supporting families across the North Shore and surrounding suburbs with preventative dental care for children aged 5 to 15.

Myobrace works by intervening early to address poor oral habits while guiding the development of the jaws and facial muscles. This helps prevent tooth crowding, spacing and other bite issues as your child grows. By supporting natural development at the right stage, Myobrace treatment can reduce the likelihood of needing braces later on, resulting in straighter teeth and a more balanced smile over time.

Advantages of Myobrace

At our East Killara clinic, we often recommend using a Myobrace appliance as early as possible. Myobrace encourages your child to learn the proper techniques of:

• Breathing through the nose
• Placing the tongue in the correct position at rest
• Swallowing correctly
• Keeping the lips together

These habits play an important role in healthy teeth and jaw development and are often the underlying cause of crowding, spacing and bite issues. By addressing these early, Myobrace helps guide natural development and may reduce the need for braces later on.

With Myobrace, treatment can support:

• Straighter teeth
• Prevention of bad oral habits
• Improved overall health
• Promotion of normal eating habits
• Healthy growth and development of the face and jaws

How Myobrace Treatment Works

Myobrace treatment can begin as early as 5 years old. The Myobrace system consists of a series of intra-oral appliances that are worn for at least one hour each day, as well as overnight while your child sleeps. This helps to correct poor oral habits while encouraging the development of healthier ones.

In addition to the appliance itself, guidance is provided on the Myobrace patient education program. This includes daily activities such as proper breathing techniques, mouth exercises and facial muscle development to support natural growth of the face and jaws.

This holistic and preventative approach to orthodontic treatment is designed to deliver long-term results. By addressing the underlying causes of misalignment early, Myobrace can help support a naturally aligned smile and contribute to improved oral and overall health as your child grows.
