What is Myofunctional Orthodontics?
It is an alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments that allows the correction of orthodontic problems (malocclusion) without the use of braces at a wider age range. The use of a series of removable appliances (Myobrace®) and myofunctional exercises are the basic components of this treatment approach.
Plenty of scientific research have shown that the major cause for malocclusion is soft tissue dysfunction. In contrast to traditional orthodontics with braces, in myofunctional orthodontics we assist the patient in the correction of the dysfunctional oral habits that contribute to poor oral-facial development.
