The Homeoblock appliance is a revolutionary oral device that is much like a retainer in looks, but the results go way beyond teeth straightening. Utilizing the natural forces of the tongue when we swallow, this custom designed appliance stimulates natural growth of jaws and the face, resulting in improved esthetics and overall health.

The Homeoblock™ appliance works with the body, so that physiological changes occur naturally; developing the bones of the face and resulting in the strengthening of facial muscles. These changes occur due to each person’s genetic potential. Often, facial development does not reach its potential due to the soft food in our modern diet, nasal congestion from polluted air, and poor oral posture, to name a few. When the upper jaw is not properly developed, the upper airway is restricted, bringing a greater risk of poor head/neck/shoulder posture, sleep apnea, TMJ issues, and many chronic illnesses that develop from inadequate restorative sleep. Dr. Mindy sees a common denominator when treating TMJ and Sleep Apnea patients. Many of them lack the proper maxillary arch development needed to allow for proper upper airway development and room for the tongue.The Homeoblock appliance can help stimulate the development of both arches while wearing the appliance only at night.

The Homeoblock appliance works in a retainer-like fashion. It is worn inside of your mouth during the night, and for some, a few daytime hours. Over the course of months to years, the Homeoblock unique design stimulates the maxilla, the central bone of the face. This stimulation results in remodeling of facial bones, strengthening of facial muscles, and straightening teeth.
