Myosa

Myosa is a preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that focuses on correcting poor oral habits, improving breathing patterns, and guiding jaw development. By treating the causes of crowded or misaligned teeth early, Myosa helps support more natural alignment and healthier facial growth.

How Myosa Supports Growing Smiles

Unlike traditional braces that work mainly on the teeth, Myosa works on the muscles, habits, and airway that influence jaw development. The soft, removable appliances help encourage nasal breathing, correct tongue posture, and promote a more balanced bite as your child grows.

  • Encourages proper tongue position and nasal breathing.
  • Supports natural jaw and arch development.
  • Helps reduce dental crowding without early extractions.
  • Promotes better facial balance and airway health.

Who Can Benefit from Myosa?

Myosa is especially suitable for growing children who show early signs of jaw or bite problems, or who have habits that may affect their facial development. Early evaluation helps us determine whether Myosa is the right approach for your child.

  • Mouth breathing or snoring during sleep.
  • Thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or prolonged dummy use.
  • Crowded or protruding front teeth at an early age.
  • Narrow arches, open bite, or developing crossbite.

What to Expect with Myosa Treatment

During your visit, we assess your child’s breathing, oral posture, jaw growth, and tooth eruption. If Myosa is recommended, your child will be given a custom appliance to wear for a few hours during the day and while sleeping at night.

Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor progress, adjust the treatment plan, and guide simple exercises that improve muscle function. Our goal is to correct the cause of misalignment, not just straighten the teeth, for long-term stability and better overall health.
