Myobrace® Interceptive Class III Stage 3 - i-3H

Myobrace® Interceptive Class III Stage 3 - i-3H

The i-3H focuses on final alignment of the teeth, while retaining the arch form, breathing and myofunctional habits, for Class III patients in the mixed dentition. By this stage of treatment, patients' teeth will be mostly aligned and, therefore, the i-3H can be used to finalise any remaining mild malocclusion.

Design Features

The design features of the i-3H are suited to finalise dental alignment, while retaining arch form, breathing and myofunctional habits in Class III patients in the mixed dentition.

• Firmest material - maintains the arch form and habits while finalising any remaining dental alignment.
• Small breathing holes - help to establish nasal breathing.
• 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.
• 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.

• 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.
