T1 MyoBrace Teens | From 10 to 15 years old | Myofunctional Appliance for Oral Habits Correction and Teeth Alignment

The Myobrace T1 BWS myofunctional appliance for teens aged 10 to 15 years

The Myobrace T1 BWS is most effective when most permanent teeth have already erupted, typically between the ages of 10 and 15. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the Bent Wire System™ (BWSTM) to optimize its function, creating a more effective and efficient arch development. It is especially indicated for correcting dental misalignments and structural issues with the jaw and face, addressing the underlying causes of these conditions. In addition to aligning the teeth, Myobrace for Teens works to correct inadequate myofunctional habits that can compromise facial growth and long-term oral health.

Why Choose Myobrace T1 BWS?

During adolescence, the body is still developing, making this phase ideal for correcting dental and structural alignment issues in a less invasive manner. Many orthodontic problems faced by teenagers, such as dental crowding and malocclusion, originate from improper myofunctional habits, such as:

• Mouth breathing
• Incorrect tongue posture
• Excessive facial muscle pressure

Who Should Use Myobrace T1 BWS?

Myobrace for Teens is recommended for adolescents who have:

• Malocclusion or dental misalignment

The Myobrace works directly on the cause of the problems, eliminating harmful habits and guiding the teeth into their correct positions.
It is worn 1 to 2 hours during the day and while the teen sleeps.
