Treatment for Breathing and Myofunctional Disorders (Ages 3–15)

The Myosa® for Kids KS2 is designed to help treat breathing and myofunctional disorders in children aged 3–15. Developed by MRC after more than 30 years of experience, the Myosa® for Kids range provides a simple, non-invasive way to address poor oral habits without the need for orthodontic treatment.

Many children develop mouth breathing, incorrect tongue posture, and poor swallowing habits, which can affect healthy jaw and facial development. The KS2 appliance helps correct these habits safely and comfortably, making it an ideal solution for healthcare practitioners who want to treat breathing and myofunctional disorders without performing orthodontic procedures.

Establish Healthy Nasal Breathing and Oral Habits

The KS2 is intended for children in the mixed dentition stage who are mouth breathers or have poor myofunctional habits. It encourages nasal breathing while helping retrain the muscles of the lips, tongue, and jaw.

As breathing and oral habits improve, patients may progress to the Myobrace® System, which focuses on myofunctional orthodontic treatment to further improve dental alignment and support healthy facial development.

KS2 Design Features

The Myosa® for Kids KS2 includes several features designed to improve breathing function and encourage healthy oral muscle development:

• Flexible material adapts comfortably to different arch forms and malocclusions.
• Small breathing holes encourage the development of nasal breathing.
• Class I offset helps position the jaw correctly while supporting improved breathing.
• Lip bumper discourages overactive lip muscles and reverse swallowing.
• Tongue tag guides the tongue into the correct resting position.
• Tongue elevator encourages the tongue to rest against the roof of the mouth.
