What is Myobrace and is it suitable for my child? Myobrace is a preventive pre-orthodontic system that uses removable appliances to correct the underlying muscular and breathing habits that cause crooked teeth and poor jaw development. It is most effective when started between the ages of 3 and 15, during active growth phases. At Vilafortuny, Dr. Fadi Antar - a certified Myobrace provider and airway-centric specialist - assesses each child individually and advises parents on whether interceptive treatment is appropriate and when to begin.
