6 exhibitors 2017 ASM — May 5, 2017 Myofunctional orthodontics: The Myobrace System  The medical and dental fields are becoming increasingly aware of the serious impact myofunctional dys- function is having on 21st century children, leading to malocclusion as well as Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) and TMJ disorder. These health concerns, combined with the increasing demand for more natural, non-invasive orthodontic techniques, mean forward-thinking dental professionals are now pre- sented with the opportunity to access a new revenue source. For more than 27 years, Myofunc- tional Research Co. (MRC) has met the growing demand for biologically based, myofunctional pre-orthodontic treatment by offering a wide range of modalities that fundamentally treat the underlying causes of malocclusion and airway dysfunction.

The Myobrace® myofunctional system, by MRC, packages habit cor- rection, arch expansion, airway cor- rection and dental alignment into a cohesive treatment system designed to treat children aged 3-15. By focus- ing on MRC’s mantra of “Straight Teeth the Natural Way,” the appliances aim to correct the poor myofunctional hab- its affecting the teeth, jaws and facial development, offering patients a more natural orthodontic solution. Combining Myobrace appliances with MRC’s educational programs and practice management systems, allows for improved treatment outcomes and increased practice profitability. Set for official release in early 2017, the company’s latest digital educa- tional tool is the Myobrace Patient Consultation app. This screening and diagnostic tool allows practitioners to efficiently screen patients, while also educating the parent and patient on the benefits of myofunctional ortho- dontics. By completing a series of ques- tions, using the built-in screening tool, a full report is issued detailing the patient’s myofunctional problems and a suggested treatment plan with a Myobrace appliance sequence. The app, which is available on most desktop and mobile devices, can be easily implemented into any practice, allowing simple delivery of information to the parent and patient regarding the dental health concerns affecting the child’s growth and development. MRC continues to lead the world as innovators of myofunctional ortho- dontic appliances with recent develop- ments including, the “Myobrace for Braces” series – for habit correction, used in conjunction with regular fixed orthodontic techniques. Rapid, more permanent results This series of appliances provide rapid, more permanent results and are a prime example of the system’s flexibility to work in conjunction with conventional orthodontic techniques.
