![]() The initial list of articles was submitted for analysis by two evaluators, who applied inclusion criteria to determine the final sample of articles, which were evaluated by their title and abstract. Research descriptorsused were “Facial Muscles”, “Myofunctional Therapy”, “Orthodontics”, “children”,which were crossed in the search engines. Literature reviewĪ search was carried out Medline, Cochrane, Embase, Pubmed, Lilacs and BBO databases, in the period from2019 to 2020. īased on the context, the objective of the work was to present a literature review of the Myobrace device, presenting the ways of operation, treatment options and its advantages and disadvantages. There are several prefabricated positioners made of different materials, some rigid and with good resistance, but with less comfort for the patient, others more flexible, soft and comfortable, but with low resistance, Myobrace simplifies orthodontics, because it unites all these functions. ![]() The Myobrace system offers an alternative method for the use of brackets that presents the most stable results, as it treats one of the main causes of recurrences, which are myofunctional habits. Bracket devices are the main ones used by orthodontics, however, one of its main disadvantages is relapse in many cases. The correction of myofunctional habits such as atypical swallowing, lingual interposition, mouth breathing, simultaneously with dental alignment is the objective for which functional appliances have been gaining space in current Dentistry. However, the hypotheses in which the individual breathes through the mouth due to habits acquired over time, without any real impediment in the upper airways, may be called myofunctional habits. Several factors can cause oral breathing, such as anatomical, inflammatory, genetic and also infections. All of these structures work together, under the control of the central nervous system, performing the functions of breathing, speech, sucking, chewing and swallowing. The function of respiration is inserted in a larger organic complex called the stomatognathic system that is composed of static structures, which comprise the maxilla, the mandible, the temporomandibular joint, hyoid bone and cranial bones, and of dynamic structures that comprise those that move the static parts. The chances of relapse become greater when the factors causing malocclusions are not treated orthodontically. ![]() The movement called Myofunctional Orthodontics attracts dentists' attention to the origin of malocclusions, such as artificial breastfeeding, pacifiers, mouth breathing and its consequences on children's development. ![]() It is concluded that orthodontic treatment cannot be considered a contributing factor for the development of temporomandibular disorders. As a result, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, articles were found, which were used to carry out this work. To this end, a survey was carried out in research bases (Medline, Cochrane, Embase, Pubmed, Lilacs and BBO) between the years 20, focusing on randomized clinical studies, prospective non-randomized longitudinal studies, systematic and meta-reviews analyzes, clinical cases that used Myobrace. The objective of the work was to present a literature review of the Myobrace device. Myobrace is a myofunctional device of Australian technology that promotes the correction of habits and dental alignment without the use of brackets. Myofunctional Dentistry is a treatment that acts in the re-education of facial and masticatory muscles, correcting bad myofunctional habits such as mouth breathing, atypical swallowing and incorrect tongue positioning, directs the growth and correct development of the cranio-cervical-mandibular complex structures and helps in alignment and leveling of teeth in patients of all ages. ![]()
