The effectiveness of myobrace on the treatment of malocclusion and bad habits in children: A systematic review
Keywords:
Malocclusion, Myobrace, Orofacial Myofunctional TherapyAbstract
Background: Malocclusion is caused by several factors such as sticking out the tongue, biting the lips, sucking the thumb and biting nails, and breathing through the mouth. This bad habit results in malocclusion which can reduce craniofacial development of orthodontic problems in children. One of the treatments for malocclusion in children with orthodontic problems is the use of myofunctional appliances. Myofunctional devices can properly restore orofacial muscles to normal anatomy. One way to overcome this bad habit is to use myobrace. Myobrace is a three-stage device system specifically designed to treat malocclusion and correct bad habits in children. Objective: To search the literature study on the effectiveness of miobrace in early correction of malocclusion development and in overcoming bad habits in children. Method: Data collection was carried out by searching literature on article search sites, namely Pubmed, Cochrane, Wiley, Google Scholar and Science Direct published from 2016 to 2021. The search was carried out from March to April 2021. Systematic exit using the keyword Malocclusion, Myobrace, Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy.
