T3 MyoBrace Teens | From 10 to 15 years old | Myofunctional Appliance for Oral Habits Correction and Teeth Alignment

The Myobrace T3 myofunctional appliance for teens aged 10 to 15 years

The Myobrace for Teens is a functional orthodontic system designed for adolescents aged 10 to 15 years. It is especially recommended for correcting dental misalignments and structural problems of the jaw and face, addressing the underlying causes of these conditions. In addition to aligning the teeth, the Myobrace for Teens works to correct improper myofunctional habits that could compromise facial growth and long-term oral health.

Why Choose Myobrace T3?

During adolescence, the body is still developing, making this phase ideal for correcting dental and structural alignment issues in a less invasive manner. Many orthodontic problems faced by teenagers, such as dental crowding and malocclusion, originate from improper myofunctional habits, such as:

• Mouth breathing
• Incorrect tongue posture
• Excessive facial muscle pressure

Who Should Use Myobrace T3?

Myobrace for Teens is recommended for adolescents who have:

• Malocclusion or dental misalignment
• Persistent mouth breathing
• Difficulty keeping their lips closed
• Incorrect tongue posture
• Facial muscle imbalance

How Does Myobrace T3 Work?

• Habit correction: Teaches nasal breathing, correct tongue positioning, and natural lip closure.
• Teeth alignment: The design of the appliance helps guide the teeth into their natural positions without excessive mechanical forces.
• Muscle strengthening: Works on the facial and oral muscles, balancing the forces acting on the teeth and jaw.
• Daily Use: Should be worn for one to two hours during the day and also at night while sleeping.

Features of Myobrace T3

Treatment Stages with Myobrace T2

The treatment is divided into four stages:

1. Correction of myofunctional habits: Works on eliminating harmful habits, such as mouth breathing and improper tongue posture.
2. Development of the dental arches: Expands the dental arches to create enough space for teeth alignment.
3. Teeth alignment: During the eruption of permanent teeth, Myobrace assists in their natural positioning.
4. Retention: After alignment, the appliance maintains the results and ensures long-term stability.
