Myofunctional Appliances
Myofunctional appliances in Phase 3B2, Mohali (near Phase 7), such as twin block and myo braces, to correct jaw growth, mouth breathing, tongue posture and bite problems in growing children. Using natural growth, these appliances improve the face profile and bite, often before full braces are needed.
What is myofunctional appliances?
Myofunctional appliances are removable orthodontic devices that use the natural forces of the facial and tongue muscles to guide jaw growth and tooth alignment in growing children. They can help correct problems like a small lower jaw, protruding front teeth, mouth breathing, incorrect tongue posture and swallowing patterns. At Urja Dental Clinic in Phase 3B2, Mohali, our orthodontist uses appliances such as twin blocks and pre-orthodontic trainers (myo braces), chosen to suit your child's age and bite. They are usually worn for a few hours during the day and while sleeping. Started at the right age, myofunctional treatment can improve facial balance and reduce or simplify later braces treatment.
