We all want to have the perfect smile, and may feel that we were born with the misfortune of bad genetics. In fact, most people attribute genetics for crooked teeth and poor jaw development, but modern research is now producing evidence that points to other causes. Research is now showing that mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, reverse swallowing and thumb sucking (known as incorrect myofunctional habits) are the real causes. Studies show that allergies, asthma and open mouth posture can also contribute to incorrect jaw development.
This is where Myobrace can step in. For patients who want stratight teeth and a healthier jaw Myobrace offers a natural alternative to braces. Learn more about Myobrace below. For a consultation please contact our Dental Office.

The Myobrace System is a natural alternative to braces! Learn more about Myobrace and how it works.
Myobrace was designed for growing children and teens, but can be used as young as three years old, and even for adults.
The appliances help the patients position their tongue in the correct spot (the roof of the mouth), and correct any bad the swallowing habits. Myobrace teaches the child to breathe through his/her nose. By putting gentle aligning forces on crooked teeth, it also straightens those teeth, widens the jaw and train 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 one sleeps. This is beneficial for those who desire comfortable and inconspicuous treatment. For a consultation, contact us today.
Orthotropics® Treatment near Carol Stream, Illinois. Learn more about Orthotropics and how it works
Orthotropics® 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.
