Holistic Dental Treatment with Myofunctional Braces
At Whitefern Dental Health in Colchester, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and innovative orthodontic solutions for our young patients. Our myofunctional braces offer a unique, holistic approach to orthodontic treatment, addressing not just teeth alignment but also the underlying muscle functions that contribute to dental health
What Are Myofunctional Braces?
Myofunctional braces are orthodontic devices designed to correct oral and facial muscle function in addition to aligning teeth. They are especially effective for young children, guiding proper jaw development and preventing future orthodontic issues. By retraining the muscles around the mouth, myofunctional braces promote natural growth and improved oral health
Benefits of Myofunctional Braces
Choosing myofunctional braces at Whitefern Dental Health offers numerous benefits:
Holistic Approach: Addresses not only teeth alignment but also underlying muscle functions and habits that affect dental health.
Early Intervention: Suitable for children as young as 3-4 years old, helping to prevent more severe orthodontic issues later in life.
Improved Breathing and Posture: Promotes proper breathing patterns and posture, enhancing overall well-being.
Non-Invasive Treatment: Focuses on retraining muscle habits with less invasive methods compared to traditional braces.
Habit Correction: Helps eliminate detrimental habits such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and improper swallowing.
Natural Growth Support: Encourages natural jaw development, potentially reducing the need for extensive orthodontic treatment in the future.
Cost-Effective: Can be a more affordable solution, particularly for early intervention, preventing costly treatments later.
