There is an alternative to effectively straighten your child’s teeth without braces at the Maine Center for Dental Medicine: Myobrace® Orthodontics.Myobrace® pre-orthodontic treatment consists of:

• A series of removable dental appliances, worn for one to two hours each day and overnight while sleeping
• Myobrace Activities™, daily exercises to improve breathing, muscular function, and tongue posture

Dental appliances and exercises treat the actual cause of crooked teeth: incorrect myofunctional habits.Habits like mouth-breathing, thumb-sucking, and tongue-thrusting can cause incorrect jaw development.
