Myobrace in Redondo Beach

At South Bay Dental Esthetics, we offer Myobrace therapy as a natural, preventive orthodontic solution that guides proper growth and development in children. Dr. Slobodan “Bo” Djordjevic, DDS, and our team use this innovative system to help young patients achieve healthy alignment, proper breathing, and confident smiles—often without the need for traditional braces.

What Is Myobrace?

Myobrace is a preventive orthodontic treatment that uses a series of removable, custom-fit oral appliances. Instead of focusing only on straightening teeth after problems appear, Myobrace addresses the underlying habits and developmental issues that cause crooked teeth and poor jaw growth.

Myobrace is typically recommended for children ages 3 to 15 and helps correct:

• Mouth breathing habits
• Tongue thrusting and poor swallowing patterns
• Thumb sucking or prolonged pacifier use
• Crowding caused by poor oral muscle function
• Underdeveloped jaws leading to misalignment

Why Choose Myobrace?

Myobrace stands out as a non-invasive, natural solution that promotes overall oral health as well as alignment.

Benefits include:

• Early intervention: Guides growth before permanent teeth erupt
• No braces required (in many cases): Reduces or eliminates the need for fixed orthodontics later
• Healthier breathing: Encourages nasal breathing for improved airway development
• Jaw and facial growth support: Promotes natural, balanced development
• Comfortable and removable: Easy for kids to wear and clean
• Holistic approach: Focuses on correcting habits, not just teeth

Our Approach at South Bay Dental Esthetics

• Growth-focused evaluation: Dr. Bo assesses jaw development, breathing, and oral habits during consultation.
• Customized treatment plan: Each child receives a phased Myobrace system designed for their age and needs.
• Habit training: Myobrace works hand in hand with exercises to improve breathing, tongue posture, and swallowing.
• Gentle, supportive care: Our family-friendly team makes treatment fun and stress-free for children and parents alike.
