We grew this boy's jaws without surgery in 18 months. He came to us with severe crooked teeth, a weak chin and incompetent lips. So we trained him to correct his oral posture using the Myobrace system. As a result, his teeth naturally aligned and his facial structure improved.

Stanford Professors coined this 'The hidden jaw epidemic': This child developed an allergy to his pet gerbil and began to mouth breathe, causing his face to change. Children who mouth-breathe tend to develop elongated faces, weak chins and crooked teeth. Mouth breathing not

4. Wearing Retainers for the rest of your life... Since traditional braces do not address the underlying causes of crooked teeth, A permanent retainer is necessary to hold the teeth straight. Clear aligners face the same issue of requiring retainers for life.

Here is a case of double jaw surgery, repositioning the jaws forward to correct recession. Interestingly, the purpose of this surgery is not cosmetic, but to enlarge the airway and fix bite problems. This speaks to how health and beauty are connected.

The parents of a 6-year-old were rightly concerned when told to wait until her teenage years to address her severe overjet. Upon learning that Myobrace can treat children as young as three, they decided to try it. Unlike traditional braces, Myobrace corrects the underlying

3. Relapse. Was it all for nothing? Long-term stability is a major problem with traditional orthodontics. Research suggests a 90% chance that the teeth will shift back to their original crooked position after braces are removed, Unless a retainer is worn indefinitely.

In my 40+ years of providing orthodontic diagnosis and treatment, I've reliably seen that children who breathe through their mouths develop smaller jaws and crooked teeth.

4. How can I get my child to stop mouth breathing? Unconscious habits are tricky to break, especially when issues like blocked noses hinder nasal breathing. In Part 2 of this thread, I'll walk you through effective methods to establish nasal breathing.

Children with this posture have severe malocclusions and distorted cranial bones. It’s not something children grow out of and should be addressed early by parents.

How does the Myobrace correct your teeth and jaws? It uses tactile feedback to remind you when your oral posture becomes incorrect until it becomes a habit. For example, if unconsciously separate your lips, they will rub against the lip bumper reminding you to keep your lips

Mouth breathing leads to a dry mouth, a breeding ground for bad bacteria. I recommend lip taping at night to facilitate nasal breathing. You might find it’s the best sleep you’ve had.

1 in 5 children have a deep bite😬 It's common malocclusion often left untreated. This girl's parents were concerned about the severity of her deep bite but after just 12 months of Myobrace, she achieved this: She will never need retainers because of her natural correction.
