Dr. Paul Rocke has introduced the Myobrace System in his Centennial Orthodontic practice. It is a system fromAustraliabased on over 20 years of experience in correcting orthodontic/orthopedic problems. The Myobrace appliances which make up this system have the proven dual function of correcting the oral habits that cause poor dental development (known as myofunctional habits), while also providing light forces to align the teeth into their natural position. This technique is now used by Dr. Paul Rocke in the southwest Denver area including Highlands Ranch, Centennial and Centennial.and Orthodontists. He is one of few in the metro area using this technology.
These appliances are designed to be used in-sequence to effectively train the tongue to position correctly in the upper jaw, retrain the oral musculature and exert light forces to align the teeth. Wearing a Myobrace appliance for one to two hours each day and overnight while sleeping, combined with a series of 'myofunctional exercises' (also known as the Trainer Activities) each day is all that is required in the treatment process. Fixed bracesare required for a short time to provide optimal alignment.
