Space Maintainer

A space maintainer is an orthodontic device used to hold space in the mouth when a baby tooth is lost prematurely. This ensures that the permanent teeth have enough room to grow in properly and helps avoid overcrowding or misalignment.

How it works:

The space maintainer is custom-made and fitted in the space left by the missing baby tooth. It keeps the surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty space, ensuring proper alignment as the permanent tooth erupts.

Life benefits:
  • Prevents crowding and misalignment.
  • Maintains space for permanent teeth to grow properly.
  • Reduces the need for more complex orthodontic treatments later on.

Myobrace

Myobrace is a preventive orthodontic treatment that helps correct poor oral habits in children while also guiding the development of the jaw and alignment of teeth. This system encourages natural facial and dental growth, reducing the need for braces later.

How it works:

The child wears a series of removable appliances for a few hours a day and while sleeping. These appliances correct habits such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, and improper swallowing, helping the teeth and jaw develop correctly.

Life benefits:
  • Promotes natural growth of the jaw and teeth.
  • Corrects harmful oral habits.
  • Reduces the likelihood of needing traditional braces.

Habit Breaker

A habit breaker is an orthodontic appliance designed to help children stop detrimental oral habits, such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting, which can lead to alignment issues or improper jaw development.

How it works:

The appliance is placed in the child’s mouth and works to physically prevent the habit, retraining the child’s oral muscles and behaviours. It’s often worn for several months to ensure the habit is fully broken.

Life benefits:
  • Prevents misalignment caused by habits like thumb sucking.
  • Promotes healthier jaw and teeth development.
  • Reduces the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment.

Functional Appliance

A functional appliance is an orthodontic device designed to guide the development of the jaw and correct bite issues. Typically worn during the early teen years, it helps improve both the bite and facial profile.

How it works:

The appliance is worn for several hours a day or overnight. It works by gently guiding the jaw’s growth and aligning the teeth, improving the overall bite and facial symmetry.

Life benefits:
  • Corrects overbites and other bite issues early on.
  • Enhances facial profile and appearance.
  • Reduces the need for more extensive orthodontic treatments in the future.

Removable Appliance

A removable appliance is an orthodontic device used to correct minor alignment issues in children. It’s custom-made to fit the child’s mouth and is typically worn for a few hours each day or overnight.

How it works:

The appliance is worn as prescribed and helps move teeth into their correct position. It can be easily removed for cleaning or eating, making it convenient for the child.

Life benefits:
  • Corrects minor alignment issues early.
  • Easy to remove for comfort and hygiene.
  • Helps prevent more serious orthodontic problems later.
