Discover the health benefits of using Myobrace® in Clearwater, FL

Orthodontic treatment is widespread for children in the US, but it can only correct issues after they have begun despite many improvements over the years. The Myobrace® addresses the root cause of dental crowding and jaw alignment issues before they start. This unique system supports healthy jaw development in young children for a straight, healthy smile. Dr. Beata A. Carlson & Associates at Natural Dentistry in Clearwater, FL, offers Myobrace®; a pre-orthodontic service for pediatric patients at risk of developing issues with their jaw and their tooth alignment.

How the modern lifestyle affects your oral health

For decades, dentists have operated under the assumption that crooked teeth are due to genetic factors. However, new research has identified poor jaw development as one of the main contributors to dental crowding and alignment issues. Daily habits, from the way children breathe to the food they eat, can stunt jaw development and lead to a wide diversity of health issues, from tooth decay to obstructive sleep apnea.

Your oral resting posture is one of the critical factors in jaw development. Ideally, your jaw stays closed with your teeth gently pressed together and your tongue resting on the roof of your mouth. Unfortunately, many people begin breathing through their mouths at an early age, causing the facial muscle to relax as the mouth remains open. Weaker facial muscles and poor oral posture will hinder jaw development, leaving little room for a full set of teeth to develop. Additionally, a diet high in soft foods and habits like thumb sucking can have similar effects, resulting in crooked teeth and poor jaw alignment.

Using the Myobrace® to optimize jaw development

The Myobrace® system uses a series of removable oral appliances designed to help children keep their tongue and  jaw in an optimum position. Your child will wear the Myobrace® for 1-2 hours during the day and overnight while they sleep. It will train the muscles in the face and mouth to stay in the best position and learn to breathe through their nose. It will also apply gentle pressure to the teeth and jaw to expand their arch.

The Myobrace® is a suitable preventive measure for children ages 3-15 to avoid the need for braces or tooth extraction. It can also prevent airway issues by keeping the jaw forward and training them for nasal breathing, which has incredible health benefits. Dr. Beata A. Carlson & Associates will also guide you and your child through a series of exercises to help them develop better myofascial habits and provide education about the best diet to support your oral health.

Dr. Beata A. Carlson & Associates will work with you through the stages of the Myobrace® system. Myobrace® has helped millions of patients worldwide improve their oral health and develop straight, healthy teeth and jaws.

About 8 years ago I was searching for a dentist that would take out my amalgam fillings(the silver ones)the proper way, and this search led me to Dr. Beata A. Carlson. I have never been happier with those search results, he and his entire staff are fantastic, attitudes go a long way plus he cares for all of you, not just your teeth. If you live within 500 miles of this Clearwater Florida office, you need to make an appointment. People fly in from all across the country to see him. I live 11 miles and feel so blessed to be so close. I will be seeing him tomorrow to have my bite checked as I had a permanent crown placed yesterday. I look forward to going to the dentist, I never feel any....

Dr. Beata A. Carlson

A graduate from the University of Maryland, Dr. Beata A. Carlson, is an established professional in dentistry. She is a firm believer in taking on a holistic approach to treating her patients’ dental concerns. It entails a general awareness of the body. It caters to the overall well-being of the patient using natural, biocompatible, and mercury-free dentistry methods instead of ‘spot treatment,’ where solutions are obtained to fix the temporary/surface wound instead of the underlying issue.

This approach promotes healthy living and proper oral care practice for day to day life. Dr. Beata A. Carlson insists on educating her patients on how to engage in such methods to help them achieve a better quality of life.

She invests both time and resources in the latest and most advanced technology to aid in diagnostics and treatment plans for her patients while maintaining a comfortable and relaxing environment.

Dr. Beata A. Carlson is also a member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, The American Academy of General Dentistry and The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
