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.
Align the smile of the future.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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.

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:
We support you with in-person guidance and regular check-ins to make sure everything stays on track.
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:
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.
Many Sydney families are rethinking how orthodontic care starts. Instead of waiting for crooked teeth to appear, they’re acting early—with impressive results.
Here’s why:
The Myobrace system helps children grow into their best smile naturally, gradually, and without metal brackets. It’s a proactive option that many Sydney parents now ask about first.
