Dr Barry Raphael - Specialist Orthodontist

Founder of Raphael Centre for Integrative Orthodontics, International Lecturer

When I was first introduced to the Myobrace System in 2008, I was told that I should be using Myobrace in every case because every case of malocclusion has some degree of soft-tissue dysfunction. Admittedly, it took me some years until I got to the point where every child's treatment begins with a regimen of breathing and muscle training using the Myobrace System. I had to go through a process of changing my focus on teeth to a focus on the muscles and breathing as the true etiologies of malocclusion. Finally, I am of the mind that if I can get a child to breathe through the nose, have the lips closed and the tongue on the palate at rest, and teach them to swallow without using their facial muscles, that I can help children grow up with straight teeth with little or no use of braces. If I could make it so, that's how all children would be treated. In fact, I believe that once this approach is widely adopted by contemporary culture, the Myobrace will become as ubiquitous as the toothbrush. It will just be a necessary part of health hygiene. The Myobrace System is the core service in my practice. It supports the biomimetic work of helping the face and jaws grow naturally straight with good support for cranial function, posture, nutrition, easy breathing, and restful sleep. It supports the orthopedic remodeling that must be done when there has been previous damage to the growth structures that must be undone. And it is compatible with the collaborative treatments done with other professionals such as myofunctional therapists, cranial osteopaths, physical therapists, physicians, and others. MRC’s systems allow me to address the triad of risk factors involved in breathing dysfunction: the structure, the function, and the behaviors of the airway and breathing. The truth is that I could not maintain my integrative orthodontic practice without it. I have the deepest respect and gratitude to Dr Chris Farrell and the others that have taught me at MRC: Dr John Flutter, Prof German Ramirez, Damien O'Brien, Dr Chris Norton, and more. You have helped change the world for the better.

Qualifications: DDS, DMD (Ortho).

Dr Ana Lorena Gomez Guardia – Specialist Orthodontist

Founder, Ortoc Clinic, International Lecturer

I incorporated the the Myobrace System into my practice in 2004 . Since that time, I have found that I needed to increase my knowledge in the physiology of the stomatognathic system. The continuing education program of Myofunctional Research Co. in this matter is so superior that it encouraged me to become a provider of health for my patients instead of just aesthetics or a form driven provider. After attending multiple summits and most recently the MFT Certification course, I now have a deep understanding of correct breathing patterns, correct muscle activity, correct posture, correct chewing etc. The use of Myobrace System assists you in changing these patterns and mastering these skills, which are a must if we want to get stability and aesthetics in a healthier patient. At present, my practice has changed its approach 100% to addressing the problem and immediately focusing on the myofunctional evaluation so the patient can receive a Complete Diagnosis of the real underlying problems. Now that I’ve learnt about MRC’s systems, it is no longer possible to ignore the concept of treating the causes and only treat the symptoms as I used to.

Qualifications: DDS, MSD (Orthodontics), Certified Damon Provider, Certified Invisalign Provider, Diplomate in Superior Education, Member of the Panamanian Orthodontic Society, Member of the World Federation of Orthodontics.

Patrick McKeown - Breathing Specialist

World Renowned Buteyko Breathing Instructor, Best-Selling Author and International Lecturer

Straight teeth do not create a good looking face, but a good looking face creates straight teeth. Most parents are unaware that persistent mouth breathing, tongue thrusting and thumb sucking during childhood not only cause crooked teeth, but also contribute to poor development of the face. It is not enough just to straighten teeth; development of the jaws, airway and face using child-friendly appliances, such as MRC’s systems, should be the primary objective. For over 30 years MRC has been educating and supporting healthcare professionals who care about helping children reach their full potential.

Qualifications: BA, MA, Dip. Buteyko.

Prof Gisele Pedroso Moi - Specialist Orthodontist and Paedodontist

Adjunct Professor at Federal University of Sergipe

In my clinical practice, I seek to diagnose and treat the oro-functional changes of pediatric patients as soon as possible. This is extremely important for a good prognosis, as about 80% of the growth of the face at six years is already complete. In addition, the growth of the skull base is closely related to the growth of the structures that form the midface (nasal cavity, orbits, maxillary sinuses, alveolar processes and teeth). Thus, any imbalance in orofacial functions may trigger disharmonies in the craniofacial growth of pediatric patients. The Myobrace and Myosa systems have been found to be useful and highly relevant assistive devices for the correction of inappropriate tongue posture, mouth breathing, poor lip seal, atypical swallowing and consequently improving the sleep quality of the pediatric patient. MRC products, especially the Myobrace and Myosa systems, have been important allies in the early treatment of myofunctional imbalance of the pediatric patient's stomatognathic system, as they enable the immediate initiation of treatment of inappropriate tongue posture, the mouth breathing, deficient lip sealing, of atypical swallowing and therefore promoting improvement in the sleep quality of the pediatric patient.

Dr Paulo Soares - Specialist Orthodontist

Founder of Instituto Felicitas, International Lecturer

As an orthodontist, I always try to intervene and prevent the malocclusions and craniofacial dystrophies from the earliest time possible. I grew frustrated with the training and tools that conventional orthodontics has to offer because I felt like I was only alleviating some symptoms but never addressing the real cause. It was with great joy that I came across the Myobrace and Myosa systems. I've been using the appliances and the techniques for over 13 years and I can finally treat the soft tissue dysfunctions that cause airway and craniofacial growth issues. I'm having a very positive impact on my patients' health and quality of life. MRC's appliances empowers us dentists to become true life changers for our patients.

Qualifications: DDS, MSD (Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics).

Dr Carola Engelberts - Dentist

Owner of Richmodent - Zahnärzte Köln, International Lecturer

For me, performing orthodontics without using the Myobrace system beforehand makes no sense. Kids receive other benefits beyond straighter teeth including better sleep, behaviour and other significant health benefits. With the help of Myobrace, we are creating beautiful healthy patients and not just straightening their teeth. We also use Myobrace for dental sleep treatments in adults with fantastic outcomes. Altogether we have faster, greater and more stable results using MRC’s systems and both kids and adults are happy that we use this simple and effective method to treat them.

Qualifications: Founder of the German Association of Orofacial Myofunction. Member of AAMS and AOMT Germany.

Dr Steven R. Olmos - Dentist

Founder of TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centres, World Renowned International Lecturer and Researcher

As an educator, researcher, clinician, author, and Founder of the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centres of Excellence (over 60 throughout 7 countries), a standardized protocol is vital to reproducible success. Having limited my practice to chronic facial pain (primary headaches, TMD, neuralgia), and breathing disorders for over 25 years, it is clear to me that most chronic facial pain conditions have a respiratory origin or aggravate symptoms. Dr. Chris Farrell should be honored for merging effective therapies of myofunctional exercises, appliances (Myobrace series), and delivery systems for respiratory, orthopedic, and neural dysfunction. I am amazed daily with MRC’s appliances and their continued evolution of design are universally applicable to my patients. The pliable materials, the thoughtful management of the tongue, muscles of respiration and function, decompression of inflamed TM joints, and nerve entrapment by restoration of proper nasal breathing. Simply brilliant. The net result is balanced cranial skeletal structure, orthopedic stability, restoration of proper breathing, and well-aligned dentition. From age two to elderly, these techniques and appliances are used as either a primary treatment or as adjunct for every patient we treat. If you are unfamiliar with the myriad of indications and uses, please reach out to MRC.

Qualifications: DDS, Diplomate: ABCP (American Board of Craniofacial Pain), Diplomate: ABCDSM (American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine), Diplomate: ABDSM (American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine), Diplomate: AIPM (Academy of Interdisciplinary Pain Management), Fellow: AAOP (American Academy of Orofacial Pain), Fellow: AACP (American Academy of Craniofacial Pain), Fellow: IAO (International Association of Orthodontics), Fellow: ICMMO (International College of Cranio-Mandibular Orthopedics), Fellow: ADI (Academy of Dentistry International), Immediate Past-President of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain, Senior Instructor: IAO (International Association of Orthodontics).

Dr Soroush Zagh - ENT, Sleep and Breathing Specialist

Medical Director, The Breathe Institute, World Renowned International Lecturer and Researcher

MRC’s products are wonderful adjunct tools to help kids and adults achieve exclusive nasal breathing, lip seal, swallow pattern and high resting tongue posture. I routinely prescribe Myobrace, Myosa and Myotalea appliances to my patients, and I commend MRC on their wonderful lineup of products, as well as their commitment to research and innovation for patients with myofunctional and sleep/breathing disorders.

Qualifications: BS (UCLA), MB (Harvard), General Surgery Internship and Head and Neck Surgery Residency (UCLA), Sleep Surgery Fellowship (Stanford).

Dr Derek Mahony - Specialist Orthodontist

Founder, Full Face Orthodontics and Dental Sleep Medicine, World Renowned International Lecturer

I have been a supporter of MRC for 30 years now. MRC has a very comprehensive system that can address the causes of airway and soft tissue dysfunction to provide an effective, simple and preventative solution for sleep disordered breathing and malocclusion. I encourage every orthodontist to learn and understand more about their systems via their excellent educational platforms. Orthodontics is no longer about just straightening teeth. We have an obligation to our patients to improve their airways and posture.

A/Prof David McIntosh - Pediatric ENT Specialist

Founder, ENT Specialists, International Lecturer

As a paediatric ENT, I am very focused on making sure children can breathe properly. A particular concern is children who have trouble breathing through their nose such that they become mouth breathers. Once the cause of the mouth breathing is addressed, any adjunct treatments that encourage the child to return to nasal breathing are to be considered and the range of Myobrace products and their treatment philosophy to encourage nasal breathing are such options.

Qualifications: MBBS, PhD, FRACS (ENT).

Dr Andrew Bachour - Dentist

Owner and Principal, TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre, Brisbane

As a practitioner, it is natural to develop your skills and understanding gradually over time. It is rare, however, to come across a system or idea that significantly impacts the way you practice. Myofunctional Research Co. has done just this. I use the entire range, the Myobrace System being the one I use most and the new Myotalea TLJ being my recent favourite. Any modality that addresses the origins of problems rather than just their symptoms will have my full support.

Qualifications: BDSc (Hons) MScMed (Sleep Medicine) CertBBM.

Prof Tarek El-Bilaly - Specialist Orthodontist

Professor of Orthodontics and Biomedical Engineering, University of Alberta

Myobrace and the Trainer system made it easier for my patients with deep and open bites to be treated when traditionally the options may have been surgery or extraction of their teeth, with or without skeletal anchorage devices. My patients like using MRC’s systems compared to the aforementioned traditional invasive techniques.

Qualifications: PhD, FRCD(C), EMBA, ABO, Dr. Med. Dent. Alexander von Humboldt Experienced Research Fellow, RCDC Councilor for Orthodontics.

Dr David Shirazi - Dentist

Dr Mike Mew - Specialist Orthodontist

Principal and Lecturer at the London School of Facial Orthotropics, International Lecturer

At our clinic we use the Myobrace K1, T1 and A1 large appliances. I find they are useful for a number of things including: improving general dental alignment, allowing space closure in the buccal segments, improving buccal interdigitation while maintaining arch width and inhibiting any peri-oral lip activation and breaking this habit permanently. Even though I do not fully implement Myobrace treatment, I find the system an excellent adjunct to Biobloc Orthotropics.

Qualifications: BDS (Lond), MSc (Ortho).

Dr Soraia Oliveira - Specialist Orthodontist

Founder of Boca Alegre Clinics

I'm very grateful to have found the Myobrace System because it changed my mind and my way of working. For me, orthodontics is not just about aligning teeth. We need to go deep and diagnose the real causes of malocclusion. With the Myobrace System, my kids and teens achieve a better quality of life. We must open our eyes! Braces or aligners can’t change faces of patients like this system allows us to. Nowadays, I check all my patient's breathing and sleep, and when parents understand the importance of this breathing and myofunctional training, we have amazing results!

Qualifications: DDS, MSD Orthodontics, Invisalign Certified.

Prof Fabiano Guerra Ferreira - Specialist Orthodontist

Professor and Post-doctoral Research in Orthodontics at CEVO/FACOP

When I was introduced to MRC's philosophy in 2010, I became passionate about myofunctional orthodontics, which transformed my life! It didn't take long to realize the Myobrace and Myosa systems can effectively provide integrated treatment for breathing and myofunctional disorders and the resulting deficient facial growth and development, malocclusions, TMDs, and airway-related problems. Moreover, upon considering the establishment of the physiological breathing pattern as the "link" for a healthy life, MRC's conception establishes a new paradigm for diagnosing and treating oral conditions and preventing severe systemic-related diseases. So today, as a health professional, I dedicate my duties to the dissemination of the invaluable benefits of the Myobrace Protocol through my dental clinic, or teaching, lecturing, researching and publishing its extraordinary results. Finally, MRC’s myofunctional orthodontics allows me to see the joy in the eyes of every treated child as well as a healthier and happier future in which they could live. In my view, Dr Chris Farrell created the most valuable and powerful treatment philosophy for health promotion of all time!

Qualifications: DDS, MSc (Ortho), Ph.D. (Dental Clinics), Postdoc Researcher in Orthodontics, Professor & Lecturer on Myofunctional Orthodontics (OrthoMundi), Researcher, Author.

Dr Faizel Mansoor - Dentist

Founder of the Fresherbreath & Dentalcare groups

Myobrace has been a game changer in the South African dental landscape. We are educating patients and dental colleagues to move from a corrective symptom-based model of healthcare to a preventative/interceptive, causal model of healthcare incorporating MRC's protocols with the Myobrace system. The patient results and provider interest speak for themselves. I am proud to be associated with Dr Chris Farrell and his team.

Qualifications: BDS, MBA (cum laude) Wits, member of the South African Dental Association.

Dr David Buck - Dentist

Founder of Balance Epigenetic Orthodontics, International Lecturer

I passionately endorse the Myobrace system, and avidly teach this system to my students. It is truly a physiologic approach to jaw orthopedics, correcting the root cause of malocclusion. The mechanical paradigm of orthodontics when de-coupled from the powerful influence of the oro-facial soft tissue capsule often leads to straight teeth in under developed jaws, thereby putting the airway and TMJ's at risk. By embracing the reality that swallowing, rest oral posture and breathing are the key stimuli for facial and jaw growth, we now have an ethical obligation to provide early interceptive corrective treatments. Myobrace fulfills this role in my practice. The endemic state of incomplete cranio-facial development in our population, along with the silent epidemic of sleep breathing disorders requires that we come together as a profession to confront this crisis. It is my sincere opinion that every four-year-old in the country should be screened for sleep disordered breathing and jaw development status. Further, in my opinion, every four-year-old should be offered a Myobrace appliance to protect the airway and promote proper jaw development. The highest good we can all do is to minimize malocclusion by maximizing facial skeletal growth in childhood. But, to my delight the Myobrace system has proven effective for those beyond the active phase of jaw growth by harnessing positive remodeling stimulation coupled with safe and biological mechanics for alignment of teeth. Every patient in my practice who is in fixed appliances, is also in a Myobrace as I so strongly believe that myofunctional health is critical to case finishing, sleep breathing, and long-term case stability. The Myobrace system is truly remarkable and versatile in so many clinical scenarios.
