Myobrace® for Adults Stage 1 - A1

Establish nasal breathing and habit correction

The A1 focuses on establishing nasal breathing and myofunctional habit correction. It is soft and flexible, which gives the best compliance, while adapting to any arch form and malocclusion. It has small breathing holes to establish continuous nasal breathing and myofunctional features to promote correct habits. Only move to the A2 when the A1 is staying in overnight and nasal breathing has been established.

Normal vs Crowded teeth

The function ofthe tongue, cheeks and lips determines tooth position. Correct facial growthdepends on correct function and breathing patterns.

How it works?

MRC has pioneered the use of appliances to correct myofunctional habits in growing children and has proven success in orthodontic correction without braces. This treatment can also lead to better facial development in growing children. The key to this treatment is correcting the position and function of the tongue, obtaining correct nose breathing and retraining the oral muscles to function correctly. Myobrace® appliances effectively train the tongue to position correctly in the upper jaw, retrain oral musculature and exert light forces to align the teeth.

Goals of treatment:

lLips together at all times except when speaking or eating.

lBreathe through the nose, to assist the development of the upper and lower jaws, and to achieve the correct bite.

lNo lip activity when swallowing, which allows the front teeth to develop correctly.

lImproved dental alignment.

lImproved facial development.
