Myobrace (No Braces)

Why do children develop crooked teeth and their jaws don’t develop properly?

A lot of research is now pointing to the fact that if your child is not breathing adequately through their noses then their tongue is positioned in such a way that it does not allow the upper jaw to develop properly.

Support Development – Not Just Straight Teeth

Confidence Without Braces – A Better Start for Growing Smiles

The Myobrace System for Kids focuses on early intervention, which can dramatically reduce the need for complex orthodontic treatments later. Rather than correcting the position of already crooked teeth with force, it supports proper jaw development and muscle function from the start.

Correct oral habits can prevent the very issues that lead to crooked teeth, such as incorrect tongue posture, mouth breathing, or poor swallowing patterns. The Myobrace appliance gently trains the mouth and facial muscles to function as they should, guiding the natural growth process.

How Myobrace helps:

Encourages balanced jaw development
Guides teeth into better alignment without the need for brackets or wires
Encourages healthy nasal breathing, reducing snoring and fatigue
Improves facial structure, swallowing habits, and speech clarity
Reduces the risk of crowded teeth or a poor bite in adolescence

The system is completely removable, which means kids can take it out when necessary. It’s discreet, comfortable, and doesn’t interfere with school or social life, making it an ideal first step in orthodontic care.

What Is the Right Tongue Posture and Why Does It Matter?

Correct tongue posture is one of the most overlooked factors in a child’s oral development. Ideally, the tongue should rest against the palate with the lips closed and breathing occurring through the nose.

When the tongue rests too low, presses forward, or remains inactive, it can lead to:

A narrow upper jaw
Teeth that crowd or shift out of place
Open bite, overbite, or crossbite
Increased likelihood of breathing through the mouth
Poor facial symmetry over time

The Myobrace Aligner for Children supports correct tongue position by gently guiding it to the top of the mouth. Over time, this natural positioning contributes to more stable jaw growth and better spacing for permanent teeth.

The benefit is not just dental—children often experience improved posture, better speech, and clearer nasal airflow as a result.

Jaw Growth & Tooth Position – What's the Connection?

The development of your child’s jaws directly affects how their teeth erupt and align. When jaw growth is uneven or restricted, the result can be misalignment, crowding, or even asymmetry in the face.

Here’s a closer look at how Myobrace helps correct early jaw issues:

Jaw Issue	Common Signs	Role of Myobrace
Small upper jaw	Front teeth crowd or overlap	Expands jaw width naturally
Recessed lower jaw	Chin appears weak or receding	Encourages forward development
Narrow palate	Crossbite or misaligned bite	Promotes lateral growth

By focusing on correct function, Myobrace not only creates room for adult teeth but also improves the way your child’s bite fits together. This has lasting benefits on chewing, speaking, and facial balance.

Are there other reasons why my child’s teeth are crooked?

Causes of Crooked Teeth in Kids

Crooked teeth often stem from more than just genetics. While inherited traits can play a role, most children develop misaligned teeth due to early-life habits and environmental factors that affect growth.

Common causes include:

Prolonged dummy use or thumb sucking
Tongue thrusting or abnormal swallowing patterns
Regular mouth breathing, especially during sleep
Soft diet in early childhood (not enough chewing)
Delayed loss of baby teeth
Poor tongue posture

These factors can interfere with natural jaw development, leading to less space for adult teeth to come in straight. The Children’s Myobrace Appliance addresses these root issues through early intervention, allowing for better long-term results without needing invasive orthodontic treatment later.

Spotting Early Signs of Orthodontic Issues

What Should I Do if I Notice Early Signs??

If you’ve noticed your child has crooked baby teeth, snores, or frequently breathes through their mouth, it might be time to assess their oral habits. These signs often point to underlying issues that can be corrected early.

At our Chatswood practice, we offer detailed evaluations that examine your child’s bite, jaw growth and facial structure. From there, we create a simple plan that may involve the Kids’ Myobrace Starter Kit, designed for young children in Sydney who show early orthodontic concerns.

Why early treatment makes a difference:

May reduce or prevent the need for braces
Lowers the chances of tooth extractions in the future
Encourages confident, healthy growth in childhood
Gives your child a better foundation for lifelong oral health

We support you with in-person guidance and regular check-ins to make sure everything stays on track.

Understanding Early Growth Appliances

What Is the Myobrace System?

The Myobrace System for Kids is a series of soft, removable trainers that work in stages to improve function and support correct jaw and dental development.

Each stage has a specific role:

Habit Correction – Teaches the child to breathe through the nose, position the tongue correctly, and swallow the right way.
Arch Development – Encourages jaw and palate widening, which creates space for future teeth.
Dental Alignment – Guides erupting teeth into a straighter path without the use of metal brackets.
Retention – Maintains the improvements made during growth, reducing the chance of relapse.

Children wear each appliance for 1–2 hours during the day and while sleeping. Our team monitors progress and makes any necessary changes throughout the treatment.

The result is a more natural smile, improved health, and a reduced need for fixed orthodontic appliances later.

Function Over Force

How the Myobrace Trainer Works

The Myobrace Trainer looks simple, but it’s built on decades of research into facial and dental growth. It’s made from soft, flexible material and is shaped to fit a growing child’s mouth.

Key features:

Trains the muscles of the lips, cheeks, and tongue
Supports natural jaw growth
Helps prevent overcrowding of teeth
Builds long-term habits that support a stable bite

Children wear the trainer at home, typically during screen time or homework, and then again while they sleep. Over time, the subtle guidance helps improve breathing, muscle tone and jaw position without the need for constant dental adjustments.

It’s an ideal early step before braces are ever considered.

Early Clues to Watch For

Signs Your Child May Need Early Orthodontic Help

Orthodontic problems don’t always wait until teenage years to show up. In many cases, early signs begin as young as age 3.

Signs to look for:

Baby teeth that grow in crooked or overlap
The mouth is constantly open during rest
Persistent thumb sucking past age 3–4
Snoring or restless sleep
Difficulties with speech (especially lisping)
Lower jaw that seems pushed back
Gummy smile or teeth that don’t meet properly

Spotting these clues early makes it easier to correct the habits and growth patterns that cause more severe issues later. That’s where the Myobrace Kit Sydney families are turning to comes in.

Future-Ready Oral Health

How Myobrace Supports Long-Term Oral Development

Myobrace doesn’t just straighten teeth. It plays a role in supporting a child’s overall health and development.

Long-term benefits include:

Proper facial symmetry and bone structure
Reduced risk of sleep disordered breathing
Healthier airways and better oxygen intake
Clearer speech and more confident communication
Decreased risk of relapse after orthodontic care

By guiding how the jaws grow and ensuring correct function early on, Myobrace sets a foundation that often means fewer problems in adolescence and beyond.
