Orthodontics

Orthodontics have moved on considerably from the fixed metal braces we and our friends had as children. Today, revolutionary techniques and modern materials allow us to gently straighten and align teeth in shorter periods with almost invisible braces.

Dr Engelbrecht was one of the early adopters of these techniques in the UK and has treated many patients with clear aligners. She is delighted to have teamed up with one of the market leaders that is now available in South Africa.

This type of orthodontic brace is ideal for the following patients:

• Adult patients
• If you have had orthodontic treatment as a child and your teeth have now relapsed
• If you have minor problems you’ve always wanted to change
• Pre-treatment for aesthetic dentistry or dental rehabilitations

The Myobrace System is a no braces approach to straight teeth and correct jaw development

The Myobrace System™ is based on over 20 years of experience in correcting orthodontic problems without the need for braces and is successfully used by Orthodontists and Dentists in more than 100 countries throughout the world.

The Myobrace appliances have a proven dual function of correcting the oral habits that cause poor dental and facial development (myofunctional habits), whilst also providing light forces to align the teeth into their natural position.
