The MYOBRACE® System™

MYOBRACE®

Optimum dental alignment and arch development in late mixed and early permanent dentition

The MYOBRACE® is a new development in orthodontic treatment based on the time proven principles of the positioner concept.

Incorporating the very latest CAD and dual moulding technology pioneered by Myofunctional Research Co, the MYOBRACE® features high-tech design characteristics to align the anterior dentition and the mandible into Class I.

This intra-oral appliance features individually-sized tooth slots and DynamiCore™, the active inner core enabling controlled arch development.
The MYOBRACE® is suitable for most children currently in the mixed or permanent dentition with mild to moderate malocclusions.

Technical Aspects

Design Objectives

The dental and orthodontic professions are already familiar with prefabricated positioners with individual tooth slots, made to align or retain the teeth. These removable appliances, such as positioners, aligners, pre-moulded appliances, and the various copies available have demonstrated varying effectiveness in recent years.

All these traditional appliances have a limiting factor: their construction from one base material. An overly hard appliance provides a good level of rigidity, but lacks comfort for the patient. A softer material provides flexibility and comfort for the patient, but lacks sufficient force for arch development and dental alignment.

The expensive fabrication processes involved with uniquely moulded multiple-appliance systems means these for now are out of reach for many.
New Dual Core Technology

The MYOBRACE® comprises two main elements: a soft flexible outer area with individual tooth slots, and a hard inner core (DynamiCore™). The pre-moulded arch form of DynamiCore™ produces arch lengthening by correcting the anterior arch form. The dual mould design overcomes the problems associated with previous prefabricated positioners, allowing for better compliance and providing more actively functioning orthodontics. Also incorporated are the well-recognised myofunctional training characteristics from the MYOFUNCTIONAL EFFECT™. Variations without DynamiCore™ (MBN™) and without tooth slots (MBS™) give more treatment options.


DynamiCore™

The DynamiCore™ produces positive arch development and tooth alignment. The dual mould design overcomes the problems associated with previous prefabricated positioners, allowing for better compliance and providing more actively functioning orthodontics. Also incorporated are the well-recognised myofunctional training characteristics from the MYOFUNCTIONAL EFFECT™.

Treatment using the MYOBRACE®

The MYOBRACE® is designed to fill an active role in the conventional orthodontic age of eleven to fourteen for children who have a desire not to use brackets for routine orthodontic problems. The MYOBRACE® effectively treats the causes of malocclusion, simultaneously providing myofunctional training, arch expansion and individual tooth alignment. Most children prefer to be treated without brackets if possible.
