 Myofunctional orthodontics
Over the last 20 years Myofunctional Research
Co. (MRC) have developed orthodontic appliances
to improve the dental and facial development of
children from 5-15 years of age, using myofunctional
orthodontic techniques instead of traditional
orthodontics. This technique not only straightens teeth
(often without braces) but also treats the causes of
crooked teeth and incorrect jaw development.

75% of growing children have malocclusion and incorrect facial

development. Soft Tissue Dysfunction is the major cause.

What causes orthodontic problems

The majority of our children will develop crowded
teeth and incorrect jaw alignment. Comprehensive
research has shown that mouth breathing, tongue
thrusting, reverse swallowing and thumb sucking –
known as incorrect myofunctional habits – are the real
causes of malocclusion. These habits limit the child’s
cranio-facial development - resulting in orthodontic
problems. Incorrect tongue position Reverse swallow restricts
restricts development of the mandibular development
maxilla causing crowding. causing crowding.

Limitations of orthodontic
treatment with braces
The orthodontic profession now recognises that
although braces can align teeth effectively, maintaining
this alignment requires permanent retainers for life. In
addition, research has found that damage to the roots
(root resporption) occurs in virtually every case. Parents
are increasingly questioning the effectiveness and
safety of orthodontic treatment with braces. Treatment with braces. Permanent fixed retainer.
