MRC Myobrace For Teens

Myobrace® for Teens is the myofunctional orthodontic treatment for patients in the conventional orthodontic age group and works to align the teeth, optimise facial development and provide eruption guidance, producing results that can rival braces and clear aligners.

MYOBRACE® T1
The T1 focuses on establishing nasal breathing and myofunctional habit correction. It is soft and flexible to give the best compliance, adapts to any arch form and malocclusion, as well as optimises staying in place at night. Only move to the T2 when the T1 is staying in at night and nasal breathing has been established.

MYOBRACE® T1BWS
The T1BWS is designed to be used with The Farrell Bent Wire System™ (BWS) to obtain more rapid arch development. It focuses on establishing nasal breathing and myofunctional correction, while the BWS expands the arch form to allow more room
for the correct tongue position. Once sufficient space in the upper arch form has
been obtained, the BWS is removed and treatment progresses to the Myobrace® T2.

MYOBRACE® T2
The T2 focuses on obtaining and maintaining correct arch development with the Dynamicore™ specific to this age group, which has extra
elements in the anterior region to promote further development of the anterior arch form. This allows space for the tongue to establish the correct resting position and swallowing patterns, improving dental alignment. Only move to the T3 when all of the above goals have been established

MYOBRACE® T3
The T3 is the tooth alignment stage of treatment. The Dynamicore™ acts as an arch wire and the tooth slots increase arch length, along with assisting dental alignment. Compliance with the T3 is essential to prevent losing arch form space, which occurs when the appliance is not worn regularly. The T3 predominately focuses on dental
alignment, but still has habit correction features similar to the T1 and T2. Move to the T4 when satisfactory dental alignment has been achieved.

Myobrace® for Teens Stage 3 (No Core) - T3N
Dental alignment (transitional) The T3N is identical to the T3, except it lacks the inner Dynamicore™. This makes it more flexible and comfortable, thereby improving patient acceptance and compliance. The T3N can be used as a transitional appliance by using it overnight while sleeping in conjunction with the T3 during the day for the first few weeks, with the aim of the T3 becoming used full time (day and night) after two to four weeks. The T3 appliance is more proficient at dental alignment and, therefore, transition should be made as soon as possible.

MYOBRACE® T4
The T4 is the final appliance in the Myobrace® for Teens appliance group, and finalises arch development, dental alignment and habit correction. The hollow tongue tag encourages the tongue to position on the spot. The T4 can also be used as a long-term retainer. The T4 is essential for retention and should be used after treatment for at least 12 months or more to optimise results and stability.
