MRC

The Myobrace® brand, established in 1989 by the parent company Myofunctional Research Co. (MRC), specializes in the development of intraoral appliance systems designed to address the root causes of crooked teeth, poor jaw growth, and Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD).

Extensive research over the past century has examined the causes of orthodontic problems. In the 1980s, Dr. Chris Farrell identified that many of these issues stemmed from incorrect breathing, swallowing, and jaw development. At the time, this research was not widely recognized or accepted by the dental and medical communities, despite the prevalence of malocclusions in children and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders in adults. The lack of awareness and resources to address these underlying issues prompted Dr. Farrell to establish MRC and develop a treatment system targeting the fundamental causes of modern orthodontic and breathing problems using intraoral appliances.

The Myobrace® System represents the latest advancement in early orthodontics and is now utilized in over 100 countries worldwide. It offers a variety of appliance systems suitable for treating orthodontic issues in patients of all ages, from children to adults. While the system is widely adopted by practitioners globally, patients often remain unaware of its additional health benefits.

The primary objective of Myobrace® treatment extends beyond straightening teeth without braces or extractions. It provides a therapeutic solution to deliver lifelong positive outcomes for patient development and overall health.
