The Myobrace T4 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 T4?

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 T4?

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 T4 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.
  It's important to keep the lips together and breathe through the nose to aid in proper jaw development and bite correction
