3 Warning Signs Most Parents Don't Recognize Until It's Too Late
By the time permanent teeth come in crooked, the habits that caused the problem have been established for years. Myobrace is designed to intervene early, before complex orthodontic treatment becomes necessary.
Warning Sign 1: Mouth Breathing (Even When Their Nose Isn't Blocked)
If your child breathes through their mouth during the day or while sleeping, it affects how their jaw and face develop. The tongue should rest against the roof of the mouth to support proper growth. When it sits low due to mouth breathing, the upper jaw doesn't widen correctly, leading to crowding.
Warning Sign 2: Snoring or Restless Sleep
Snoring in children is not normal, and it's not something they "grow out of". It's often a sign of restricted airways, which can lead to poor sleep quality, behavioural issues, and, yes, orthodontic problems.
Warning Sign 3: Crowded Baby Teeth
Baby teeth should have small gaps between them. If they're tightly packed or overlapping, permanent teeth won't have enough space to erupt properly. This is one of the clearest early indicators that jaw development needs support.
Why Myobrace Works:
Myobrace doesn't just straighten teeth. It retrains oral habits by teaching proper tongue posture, encouraging nasal breathing, and guiding healthy jaw growth. By addressing these root causes early, many children avoid the need for braces, extractions, or surgery later.
Best Age to Start:
Between ages 5 and 10, when the jaw is still growing, and habits are easier to correct.
If you've noticed any of these signs in your child, book an early assessment. Waiting until age 12 means missing the window where growth can be guided naturally.
