At Sana Dental, our dentist and staff members are excited to talk with you about how the Myobrace® system can positively impact your child. Reach out to us at our office in Edmonton today to learn more about how this non-invasive, non-permanent dental treatment can impact your child’s teeth, airways, jaw, and overall health.
For children aged 2 to 4 years old, snoring is not normal. Both open-mouth breathing and snoring at this age can harm a child’s cognition, development, and growth. Ten to sixteen hours of high-quality sleep is key for healthy development in toddlers and preschoolers. Balance Epigenetic Orthodontics can begin treating children as young as two years old to protect sleep and promote healthy jaw development, promoting healthy airway and facial development later in life.
Simple, elegant, and non-permanent, the Myobrace® treatment appliance stimulates proper tongue placement, keeps the jaws in the correct position, and strengthens lip seals – all during sleep. These factors promote healthy facial and jaw development. The Myobrace® appliance also protects deep sleep, essential to a child’s healthy development. Kids who wear a Myobrace® appliance report better school performance, increased energy, and an enhanced sense of well-being.
Most kids are first screened by an orthodontist at age 7, and treatment usually doesn’t start until age 12. With the help of recent research, dentistry professionals now understand that this waiting period creates missed opportunities for simple corrections.
Early treatment allows us to use Myobrace® dental technology to maximize the opportunity for healthy facial growth. Dr. Pavlenko believes that many children treated with Myobrace® dentistry appliances will not need braces in their teens.
Myobrace® technology eliminates mouth-breathing and snoring by developing your child’s airway. Allowing your child’s jaws to be fully forward creates competent, strong airways while supporting proper body posture. These factors allow for restful sleep and promote the development of aesthetically pleasing facial features.
When we get to work with your child at an early age, we can use the Myobrace® dental system to positively impact facial and jaw development. We’ll work with you to eliminate mouth-breathing and snoring, creating more restful sleep for your child, as well as reducing the likelihood of sleep apnea in their adult years.
