View Patient Testimonials 

“Dr. Dawn uses a research-based, exceptionally effective approach to dentistry/orthodontia that I haven’t seen anywhere else. My spouse and I both had extensive orthodontia as children and young adults, so when I heard Dr. Dawn talk about her approach, I was intrigued enough to take my children for an evaluation. The techniques she uses have helped my children’s mouths (and bodies) grow appropriately. When things don’t go smoothly or as expected, Dr. Dawn has a seemingly limitless list of ideas and tools. I heartily recommend giving Dr. Dawn and her approach a try!”

Myobrace System and How it Works

Myobrace was designed for growing children and teens but can also be used in patients as young as three years old. Moreover, Myobrace is even suitable and effective for adults.

The appliances help the patients position their tongues in the correct spot (the roof of the mouth) and correct any bad swallowing habits. Myobrace teaches the child to breathe through their nose. Putting gentle aligning forces on crooked teeth also straightens those teeth, widens the jaw, and trains the muscles in and around the mouth to function properly. Retraining the muscles in and around the mouth to function properly leads to long term stability of the straightened teeth.

Myobrace appliances are worn one to two hours a day and while you sleep. This is beneficial for those who desire comfortable and inconspicuous treatment.

Orthotropics® and How it Works

orthotropics chaumburg ILOrthotropics® is another type of “Facial Growth Guidance”. This philosophy was developed in the 1950’s as an alternative the shortcomings of traditional orthodontics. Orthotropics, also known as “forwardontics,” promotes positive facial growth. This approach also believes that the ideal development of the face and jaws depends on the correct postures – tongue at rest on the palate, lips sealed and teeth in or near contact. The Bioblok system is most popular, and is sometimes used with the Myobrace system.

Early growth guidance is the best way to avoid crowding and extraction of permanent teeth. Our goal is to create facial balance and to minimize problems with airway and TMJ. Again, adults can also benefit from this philosophy and treatment approach.
