Myobrace® Permanent Dentition Class III Stage 2 - P-3

Myobrace® Permanent Dentition Class III Stage 2 - P-3

Overview

The P-3® focuses on arch development and continuing habit correction for Class III patients in the permanent dentition. It has small breathing holes to maintain continuous nasal breathing and myofunctional features to promote correct habits. The P-3® features a revolutionary Dynamicore™ inner cage for arch development to further improve habit correction. It also features MRC's patented flat tongue tag to optimise tongue position and the 3mm offset to promote dental Class III correction. Move to the P-3H when the P-3® has corrected the arch form, breathing and myofunctional habits.

Design Features

The design features of the P-3® are suited to promote arch development while correcting breathing and myofunctional habits in Class III patients in the permanent dentition.

• Firmer material - imparts extra force to promote arch development.
• Flexible tongue tag - guides the tongue upwards and forwards into the correct position.
• Dynamicore™ with Frankel Cage - to promote extra arch development.
• 3mm offset - corrects the underbite by pushing upper teeth forward and lower teeth back.
• Tongue elevator - lifts the tongue into the correct position.
• Frankel shields - for added upper arch development.
• Breathing holes - encourage and establish nasal breathing.

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.
