Myofunctional therapy is a comprehensive treatment approach that focuses on the muscles of the face, mouth, and throat to promote optimal oral health. It involves a series of exercises and techniques specifically designed to retrain and strengthen these muscles.
The primary goal of Myofunctional Therapy is to restore proper muscle function, which plays a crucial role in supporting healthy dental growth. In addition, this therapy helps correct any imbalances or improper habits that may affect oral development by addressing issues related to breathing, swallowing, and tongue posture.
Smiles by Choice is proud to incorporate the Myobrace System into our Myofunctional Therapy treatments. The Myobrace System is a preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that addresses the underlying causes of crooked teeth, often without braces or tooth extractions. This system aims to unlock the natural growth and development of your child’s teeth, promoting optimal dental alignment and overall oral health.
By choosing the Myobrace System at Smiles by Choice, your child can experience a range of remarkable benefits:
The Myobrace treatment effectively corrects poor oral habits, helping your child develop and align their jaws. This contributes to a well-balanced facial structure and supports proper dental development.
Through gentle, guided forces, the Myobrace System straightens your child’s teeth naturally, optimizing their facial development and giving them a beautiful smile they can be proud of.
Myobrace treatment goes beyond just dental alignment. By addressing underlying oral issues, it can lead to improved overall health. Additionally, the system promotes healthy eating habits, ensuring your child can enjoy nutritious foods without oral discomfort.
During a Myofunctional Therapy session, our experienced dental professionals will work closely with your child to guide them through various exercises and techniques tailored to their needs. These exercises may involve tongue exercises, breathing exercises, swallowing techniques, and jaw exercises. Sessions are typically interactive, engaging, and designed to be enjoyable for children.
The duration of Myofunctional Therapy varies depending on each individual’s specific needs and progress. Typically, you can expect to see initial improvements within a few weeks to a few months of starting therapy.
Early intervention may reduce the need for extensive orthodontic treatment, such as braces. Still, the need for orthodontic intervention varies depending on individual circumstances.
Smiles by Choice’s comprehensive and personalized approach, combined with the innovative Myobrace System, sets us apart as the leading provider of Myofunctional Therapy in St. Louis, MO. Book an appointment today so our dental team can lay the foundation for a lifetime of beautiful, healthy smiles and a future filled with confidence and oral wellness.
