MyoBrace J3 Myofunctional Appliance for Children Aged 3 to 5 Years

The Myobrace for Juniors is a functional orthodontic solution designed for children between 3 and 5 years old. It was developed to correct inadequate myofunctional habits, which can lead to dental misalignment and improper jaw and facial development. With a preventive focus, this appliance helps ensure that the child grows with a healthy facial structure and natural dental alignment, minimizing or eliminating the need for invasive orthodontic treatments in the future.

Why is Myobrace for Juniors Important?

At this age, the child’s facial bones and teeth are at a crucial stage of development. Many dental and facial issues are caused by poor myofunctional habits, such as:

• Mouth breathing: Which can affect facial growth and lead to health problems.
• Improper tongue posture: Contributes to dental misalignment and asymmetric facial development.
• Bad oral habits: Such as thumb sucking or prolonged pacifier use.
