Myobrace® for Teens Stage 4 - T4

Myobrace® for Teens Stage 4 - T4

Finalise habit correction, alignment and retention

The T4 focuses on final alignment of the teeth while retaining the arch form, breathing and myofunctional habits. It is the firmest appliance in the series, providing the best retention. If the patient requires dental alignment, the T3 is used and then the T4 to finalise any remaining mild malocclusion. Move to the Myobrace® for Adults series if further treatment or retention is required in the permanent dentition.

Design Features

The design features of the T4 are suited to finalise dental alignment, while retaining arch form, breathing and myofunctional habits in the developing permanent dentition.

• Firmest material - maintains the arch form and habits while finalising any remaining dental alignment.
• Robust anterior arch form - to impart more force on the anterior teeth for better arch development.
• Lip bumper - discourages overactive lip muscles.
• Hollow tongue tag - encourages correct tip of the tongue positioning.
• Tongue elevator - encourages the body of the tongue to rest in the roof of the mouth.
• Low sides - designed to focus on retention of arch form, alignment and habits.

Directions for Use

The Myobrace® appliance is to be used for one to two hours each day, plus overnight while sleeping. The patient's teeth may become slightly sensitive in the early stages of treatment. This is quite normal, however, if pain becomes excessive, decrease application time with the aim to build it back up once the appliance is accustomed to and sensitivity subsides.

• Step 1: Hold the Myobrace® with the tongue tag facing up.
• Step 2: Place the Myobrace® into your mouth.
• Step 3: Keep your tongue positioned on the tongue tag.
• Step 4: Close down on the Myobrace® and feel it working to align your front teeth and jaws.
• Step 5: Keep your lips together and breathe through your nose.

Cleaning the Appliance

The Myobrace® appliance should be cleaned under warm running water every time the patient removes it from their mouth.

Use Myoclean™ tablets to thoroughly clean twice a week. Myoclean™ is the recommended cleaning agent for all MRC appliances.
