For patients in the permanent dentition

Myobrace®for Adults is a three-stage appliance system used in the permanent dentition. Although the appliances are still very effective at correcting breathing and myofunctional disorders, little to no remaining growth combined with long-standing poor habits result in less effective orthodontic outcomes. As such, this appliance range is almost always combined with additional arch development techniques and sometimes braces or clear aligners.

Arch expansion and continue habit correction

The A2 focuses on arch development and continuing habit correction. The breathing holes are removed to establish and maintain continuous nasal breathing while the myofunctional features remain present in the appliance to promote correct habits. The firmer polyurethane material puts more force on the anterior teeth to improve their alignment, while promoting arch development at the same time. Move to the A3 when the A2 has corrected the arch form, breathing and myofunctional habits.

Design Features

The design features of the A2 are suited to promote arch development while correcting breathing and myofunctional habits in the permanent dentition.

• Firmer material imparts extra force to promote arch development
• Robust anterior arch form to impart more force on the anterior teeth for better arch development
• Tooth channels apply forces to promote dental alignment, especially of the front teeth
• 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 the arch development while optimising appliance retention
