Malocclusion is formed starting with subtle symptoms, which, as the child grows, take on the appearance of a serious anomaly that requires laborious and expensive treatment. Early identification of the listed negative factors and preventive correction in many cases can eliminate problems even in preschool age.
Thus, the habit of breathing through the mouth, which occurs in a child as a result of frequent colds, leads to underdevelopment of the jaw bones and narrowing of the dentition, which parents usually discover only at the age of 6-7, when the child’s teeth begin to change and erupt unevenly. At this age, MRC soft myofunctional trainers are widely used for early correction of malocclusion.
Unlike orthodontic bows and plates, elastic silicone trainers work to eliminate the causes of the problem – the malfunctioning of the muscles surrounding the dentition. Without restraining the natural growth of the jaws, but gently guiding it, the trainer develops in the child the correct palatal position of the tongue, contributing to the expansion of the upper dentition, and also helps to restore the nasal type of breathing and normalize the myodynamic balance of the maxillofacial region, as a result, the growth of the child’s facial skeleton in the whole.
37% of younger schoolchildren develop a bad habit of gnawing pens, pencils, and sticking their tongues into the gap during the period when the incisors change. Trainers will help in these cases too: a special shutter provided in their design isolates the naughty tongue from the front teeth, allowing them to grow correctly, and a special “tongue” of the trainer helps to train the muscles of the tongue.
To align the dentition, children of 9-15 years old are recommended trainers “Myobrace” with an elastic nylon arch built into the silicone mouthguard, which, without harm to children’s tooth enamel, expands the narrowed dentition, and silicone cells correct the position of each tooth – this makes the result of orthodontic treatment the most stable and long-term.
It is enough to wear “Myobrace” for only one or two hours during the day, plus wear it all night long – it is not difficult for parents to control this mode, and the correction takes place imperceptibly for others. That is why trainers “Myobrace” are now much more popular among teenagers than traditional braces.
