Myobrace, an alternative to braces

Taedareth · 05-25-2017, 07:58 PM

Have you or your kids used this as a precursor or alternative to conventional orthodontic treatment? Apparently it's used in many countries around the world (was developed in Australia). Designed to train the mouth and facial muscles to apply the right pressures to the palate so that it develops the correct shape (wide enough for all the teeth).

I read a Japanese study describing how it worked on the individuals studied, complete with before and after pictures. It's interesting. Does anyone have personal experience with this method?

Yeah, it is intriguing. I've been reading mom forums and health forums to see what people who've used it had to say. It seems like 80% of them were positive. Those who weren't, seemed to either be working with a dentist/ortho who didn't know how to fit the device correctly (and gave them back their money after a couple of visits) or weren't working with a dental professional at all and got their myobrace off aliexpress or eBay.

One person said their orthodontist sees lots of people who had a failed experience with myobrace and had to get orthodontic braces afterward, but I don't know how common that is. I did read that its effectiveness is directly proportionate to the patient's faithfulness at wearing it, and that some people have a hard time sleeping with a removable device in their mouth.

At what kind of age would this be used?

The earliest is 5. Average might be 8-13. But adults can also. Our dentist and hygienist both use it.

how does this cost compared to traditional braces and how long does it take to work?
