Airway Centered Orthodontics for Children
No child between 2 and 4 years-old should be snoring. Snoring and open-mouth breathing at night are detrimental to a child’s growth, development and cognitive functions. Children should have the best quality of sleep and need ten-to-sixteen hours of high-quality sleep each night for proper development.
There is reputable medical research that shows jaw development strategies in younger children promote healthy and optimal sleep patterns. With technology from Myobrace, we can intervene on sleep and jaw development problems with long-term solutions for children as young as 3 or 4 years-old. Balance Epigenetic Orthodontics treats children as young as 2 to 4 years-old with treatments that protect sleep and jaw development. Early intervention on jaw development promotes healthy airway, jaw and facial development for a lifetime.

Introducing Myobrace

Don’t ignore the symptoms just because they are common.

We’ve grown up in a culture where the first orthodontic screening usually happens at age 7. Then they begin a waiting period until around the age of 12 when their permanent teeth have erupted. With today’s science, we know better. The waiting period for orthodontics is a missed opportunity.
By starting early in a child’s facial development, we can use Myobrace technology and other orthopedic stimulation to maximize the full genetic potential of facial growth. Dr. Buck believes it's possible a high percentage of children he is treating with these techniques will not need braces at all in their early teen years.
By eliminating snoring and mouth breathing by developing the child’s airway, the Myobrace technology assures for restful sleep and all the developmental benefits that affords a growing child. The full forward developed jaws also create competent airways and proper body posture which are key factors in avoiding sleep apnea as an adult. Additionally, the a fully formed jaw creates aesthetically pleasing, fully developed facial features.

At Balance Epigenetic Orthodontics, we’ve successfully treated many adult and teenage patients using these techniques. With Myobrace, we can now bring this leading-edge dental science to children as young as four years-old, increasing the benefit the science can have on their lives.
