When to Start Treatment
While traditional orthodontic treatment with braces or aligners usually commences once all the adult teeth have come through, Myobrace® treatment takes a preventative approach so can start much sooner, ideally while the teeth and jaws are still growing.
Myobrace® treatment is suitable for children aged 5 to 15, but is generally most effective between 6 to 10 years of age. This is because children in this age bracket are still developing and growing, while also mature enough to wear the Myobrace® appliance and perform the activities as required. Understanding why the underlying habits must change in order to achieve straight teeth will go a long way in ensuring treatment adherence and success.

Although Myobrace® is best suited for children, treatment for adults is also available and can offer a range of health benefits in addition to just straightening your teeth.
For patients with an underlying airway or breathing related issue, Myosa® treatment may be a good first step. More information about Myosa® can be found on the Myosa® section of this website.
