Pediatric Myobrace in Bronxville

Helping Children Build Healthy Smiles from an Early Age

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.

What Is Myobrace?

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:

  • Mouth breathing
  • Incorrect tongue posture
  • Thumb sucking
  • Tongue thrust swallowing
  • Poor lip seal
  • Mild crowding and developing bite concerns

By addressing these habits early, Myobrace encourages healthier jaw growth and proper tooth development.

Benefits of Pediatric Myobrace

Unlike traditional braces that primarily straighten teeth, Myobrace focuses on correcting the habits that contribute to orthodontic problems.

Potential benefits include:

  • Encourages healthy jaw development
  • Supports proper nasal breathing
  • Promotes correct tongue position
  • Helps guide developing teeth into better alignment
  • May reduce the complexity of future orthodontic treatment
  • Comfortable, removable appliance with no brackets or wires

Is My Child a Candidate?

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.

What to Expect

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. Regular follow-up visits allow Dr. Bijoor to monitor growth and ensure treatment is progressing as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pediatric Myobrace?

+

Pediatric Myobrace is an early orthodontic treatment that uses a removable appliance along with simple exercises to improve oral habits that can affect the way a child's teeth and jaws develop. It focuses on addressing the underlying causes of orthodontic problems rather than simply straightening teeth.

How do I know if my child is a good candidate for Myobrace?

+

Children who have crowded teeth, mouth breathing, thumb sucking habits, snoring, incorrect tongue posture, or early bite concerns may be good candidates. Dr. Bijoor will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if Myobrace is the right treatment for your child.

At what age should my child start Myobrace treatment?

+

Every child develops differently, but Myobrace is typically most effective during the early growth years. We recommend scheduling an evaluation as soon as you notice concerns with your child's oral habits or developing bite so we can determine the ideal time to begin treatment.

Does Myobrace replace traditional braces?

+

Not always. While some children may still need braces later, Myobrace can help guide healthy jaw development and improve oral habits, which may reduce the complexity or length of future orthodontic treatment.

How long does my child need to wear the Myobrace appliance each day?

+

Most children wear the appliance for one to two hours during the day and while sleeping at night. Dr. Bijoor will provide specific instructions based on your child's treatment plan.

Is Myobrace comfortable for children to wear?

+

Yes. Myobrace appliances are designed to be comfortable and removable. Most children adjust quickly, and because there are no brackets or wires, many families find the treatment easy to manage.

Will my child need to do anything besides wearing the appliance?

+

Yes. Myobrace treatment includes simple daily exercises that help strengthen the muscles of the mouth and encourage healthy breathing, swallowing, and tongue posture. These exercises are an important part of achieving successful results.

How long does Pediatric Myobrace treatment usually take?

+

Treatment varies depending on your child's age, growth, oral habits, and cooperation with wearing the appliance and completing the exercises. During your consultation, we'll provide a personalized estimate based on your child's needs.

Will my dental insurance cover Myobrace?

+

Insurance coverage varies by provider and individual plan. Our team is happy to review your benefits, explain your coverage, and discuss payment options before treatment begins.
