Myobrace® for Teens with BWS - T1BWS

Product Overview

The T1BWS is designed to optimise the function of The Farrell Bent Wire System™ (BWS) to create more effective and efficient arch development. The T1BWS continues to improve breathing and myofunctional disorders while the BWS expands the arch form to create more room for the tongue. During times that the BWS isn't being used, the patient is transitioned from the T1BWS appliance to the T2 appliance.

Design Features

The design features of the T1BWS are suited to optimise the function of the BWS, while simultaneously improving breathing and myofunctional disorders.

• Flexible material - makes it a comfortable starting appliance, able to adapt to any arch form and malocclusion.
• Tapered anterior section - of the appliance prevents over-flaring of the anterior teeth during BWS activation.
• BWS channels - accommodate the BWS wire and composite stops on the lingual aspect of the teeth.
• Small breathing holes - help to establish nasal breathing.
• Lip bumper - discourages overactive lip muscles during a reverse swallow.
• 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.
• High sides - hold the soft tissues away, promoting arch development while optimising appliance retention.

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.

Application Steps:

• 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.
