Myobrace works like magic!

Green Apple is the first and only accredited clinic by Myofunctional Research Company (MRC), an Australian based dental concept technology, to offer intensive dental care using their orthodontic appliances. The clinics are located at select Ayala Malls nationwide. Dr. Urbi is the president and founder of the dental clinic. The doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) and diplomate of the International Board of Orthodontics (DIBO), has always believe in prevention rather than correction. He has introduced his young patients to Myobrace (Myofunctional appliances) which looks like a mouth guard that kids need to wear during bedtime and at least two hours a day at playtime every day for one to three years, depending on the dental child's case.

Myobrace which works best for five to 15-year-old kids is a multi-cutting edge apparatus that properly expands the dental arch of a child while he or she is growing in his or her sleep, allowing permanent teeth to grow in normal alignment. This works like magic in Angeline. Her V-shaped lower dental arch has gone and is now almost in normal shape.

Now here comes the bonus for using myobrace: it addresses poor oral habits like mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, and thumb sucking.

This is how Angeline's lower teeth looks like when Dr. Urbi met her for the first tim

“Do you know that most facial and dental abnormalities among growing children are caused by these poor oral habits? When a child breathes through his or her mouth his or her jaw and dental arch can be underdeveloped, which can result to crowding of permanent teeth and abnormal shape of the face. Moreover, improper breathing develops tongue thrust that affects swallowing, speech, and chewing in problematic ways,” Dr. Urbi said.

So Angeline also has this habit of mouth breathing and it has been corrected for three years now. While she still undergoes treatment for RHD, she hardly gets sick of sore throat, or cough and colds and the like which she used to experience when she was breathing through her mouth.

Dr. Urbi, the advocate of good oral habits: prevention is
better than cure

With myobrace saying goodbye to crooked teeth and hello to perfect smile is not impossible. “If you see your child developing crooked teeth (and having facial deformity or abnormality), don’t wait for them to get worse, then correct condition with traditional wired braces, which could be painful and more expensive because it takes long time of treatment,” the advocate of good oral habits said.
