Why Myobrace

Treat the cause, not just the crooked teeth

Most crooked teeth aren't caused by big teeth in small jaws — they're caused by everyday habits like breathing through the mouth, resting the tongue low, and swallowing incorrectly. Myobrace uses a series of comfortable, removable appliances plus simple daily exercises to retrain those habits while your child is still growing, so teeth come in straighter and the jaw develops properly.

No fixed braces

No metal brackets glued to teeth and no wires. The removable appliance does its work without changing how your child looks day to day.

Better breathing & sleep

By correcting mouth breathing and encouraging nasal breathing, Myobrace can improve sleep, focus and overall wellbeing.

Proper jaw development

Guiding the jaw while it's still growing creates room for teeth to come in naturally — often reducing the need for braces later.

Only 1–2 hours a day

The appliance is worn for a short daytime session plus overnight — no impact on school, meals or playtime.

Gentle & painless

No tightening, no soreness from wires. Myobrace works with your child's natural growth, comfortably and gradually.

Whole-body health

Our oral-systemic philosophy treats your child's mouth as part of their overall health — breathing, posture and development included.

When to look closer

Signs your child may benefit from Myobrace

If you notice any of these, an early assessment is worthwhile — many can be guided gently while the jaw is still growing.

Breathing through the mouthLips often apart at rest, or breathing through the mouth instead of the nose.

Crowded or crooked teethTeeth coming in overlapped, twisted, or with not enough space.

Thumb sucking or dummy useOngoing habits that push teeth and jaw out of their natural position.

Snoring or restless sleepNoisy breathing or poor sleep can be linked to airway and jaw development.

Tongue resting low or forwardTongue pushing against or between the teeth when swallowing or at rest.

An uneven or developing biteUpper and lower teeth that don't meet evenly, or a jaw that looks set back.

Common questions

Myobrace in Uganda — answered

What age is best to start Myobrace?

Myobrace works best for children between roughly 5 and 15 years old, while the jaw is still growing. Starting early often means simpler, shorter treatment — but we assess each child individually at a free consultation and advise honestly.

How is Myobrace different from braces?

Braces straighten teeth by force. Myobrace corrects the underlying causes — mouth breathing, incorrect tongue position and poor swallowing — using removable appliances and simple daily exercises, so teeth straighten more naturally and are less likely to relapse.

How long does treatment take?

Most children follow the programme for around 12 to 36 months, depending on age and how consistently the appliance and exercises are done. We review progress regularly and give you a clear, personalised timeline.

Does my child have to wear it all day?

No. The appliance is worn for just one to two hours during the day plus overnight while sleeping — so it doesn't interfere with school, eating or normal activities.

Is Myobrace available in Uganda?

Yes. Code Clinic in Kampala offers Myobrace as part of our oral-systemic approach to children's health. Book a free consultation and we'll let you know if your child is a good candidate.
