At Vilafortuny in Dubai, we believe that early intervention is the key to lifelong oral health and proper development. One of the most effective ways to prevent future orthodontic problems and support overall wellbeing is through myofunctional therapy — and that’s where appliances like Myobrace and Myosa come in.
These advanced, non-invasive systems help correct poor oral habits, promote healthy jaw development, and improve breathing — all without braces or surgery. If your child suffers from mouth breathing, poor posture, or misaligned teeth, these solutions may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
What Are Myofunctional Appliances?

Myofunctional appliances are soft, removable devices that retrain the tongue, lips, and facial muscles to function correctly. They help address the root causes of orthodontic problems — such as incorrect swallowing, poor tongue posture, and mouth breathing — rather than simply straightening teeth.
At Vilafortuny, we offer a full range of evidence-based appliances, including:
- Myobrace® – ideal for children aged 3–15 with crooked teeth, poor tongue posture, or mouth breathing
- Myosa® – suitable for both children and adults with snoring, sleep-disordered breathing, or jaw tension
- Trainer System – used in early childhood to guide natural jaw and muscle development
- TMJ and sleep appliances – designed for adults with airway obstruction, clenching, or TMJ dysfunction
What Issues Do These Appliances Address?
- Mouth breathing
- Incorrect tongue posture
- Swallowing dysfunction
- Open bite or crowded teeth
- Snoring or poor sleep
- TMJ pain
- Daytime fatigue or lack of focus
- Narrow jaw development
Left untreated, these issues can cause long-term dental and health complications. That’s why we recommend early assessment, especially between the ages of 3 and 9, when growth can still be guided effectively.
How Do Myobrace and Myosa Work?
These appliances are typically worn for 1–2 hours during the day and overnight while sleeping. They gently train the muscles and correct habits over time, promoting:
- Nasal breathing
- Proper tongue positioning
- Balanced facial growth
- Healthy swallowing patterns
- Better sleep and concentration
Treatment often includes myofunctional exercises and breathing techniques, which our team at Vilafortuny teaches as part of a holistic plan. In many cases, patients who use Myobrace early may avoid the need for fixed braces altogether.
