A healthy smile begins with proper oral development. Pediatric Myobrace is an early intervention treatment designed to address the underlying causes of crooked teeth and bite problems by improving breathing, tongue posture, swallowing, and jaw development. Rather than waiting until permanent teeth have fully erupted, Myobrace works during childhood when the jaws are still growing.
At Happy Smiles Dentistry of Westchester, Dr. Bijoor offers Pediatric Myobrace in Bronxville to help children develop healthier oral habits and support natural facial growth. Early treatment may reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic care later in life while encouraging a strong foundation for lifelong oral health.
Myobrace is a removable orthodontic appliance that is worn for a short period during the day and while sleeping at night. It is combined with simple myofunctional exercises that help retrain the muscles of the mouth and face.
Myobrace is designed to help correct habits such as:
By addressing these habits early, Myobrace encourages healthier jaw growth and proper tooth development.
Unlike traditional braces that primarily straighten teeth, Myobrace focuses on correcting the habits that contribute to orthodontic problems.
Potential benefits include:
Children may benefit from Myobrace if they have early signs of crowding, mouth breathing, thumb sucking, snoring, or developing bite issues. Dr. Bijoor will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether Myobrace in Bronxville is the right option for your child's needs.
Starting treatment during the growing years allows us to guide healthy oral development when it can have the greatest impact.
Treatment begins with a thorough examination and personalized treatment plan. If Myobrace is recommended, your child will wear a custom appliance daily and complete simple exercises that reinforce healthy oral habits.
