Mouth breathing in children alters their growth. If a child is a mouth breather, their tongue won’t rest in the roof of their mouth which usually affects forward growth of the lower jaw and can cause an undersized upper jaw. Crooked teeth will often be the result. Dr. Simmons' Myobrace treatment helps to correct mouth breathing and get growth back on track.

Do you eat with your nose?

Of course we do not eat with our noses, and we should not breathe through our mouths! Noses were designed to filter the air we breathe. Mouth breathing causes increased tooth decay, increased illness, crowded teeth and improper growth in faces.

Breathing through your nose leads to better overall health and is an essential part of Myobrace treatment.

What is the best age to begin Myobrace treatment?

Myobrace can be used in children 5-15 years of age. The optimum time to begin Myobrace treatment is when the patient is still growing and the first permanent teeth begin to appear. Patients over 15 years of age can also be treated but the problems and habits causing the crooked teeth are often more difficult to change at this stage.
