For the treatment of breathing and myofunctional disorders (Ages 3-15)

After 30 years of experience correcting mouth breathing and myofunctional habits in children, MRC’s expertise has culminated in the creation of the Myosa®for Kids range. Breathing and myofunctional disorders have risen to the forefront of attention for practitioners around the world. Although many practitioners would like to become involved in the treatment of these disorders, options have been limited for those who are not licensed or able to provide orthodontic treatment. The Myosa®for Kids appliances allow practitioners to address either breathing or myofunctional disorders, or both simultaneously, without performing any orthodontic techniques and in a way that is risk-free, effective and well accepted by children.

Establish a functional airway and habit correction

The KS1 focuses on establishing a functional airway and initial myofunctional habit correction in children who are mouth breathing, especially during sleep. It is used in the mixed dentition stage and has large breathing holes to establish a functional airway and myofunctional features to promote correct habits. Move to the KS2 appliance only when the KS1 is staying in overnight and the patient’s breathing function has improved.

Design Features

The design features of the KS1 are suited to establish a functional airway and initial correction of myofunctional disorders for children in the mixed dentition who are mouth breathers, especially during sleep.

• Flexible material makes it a comfortable appliance, able to adapt to any arch form and malocculsion
• Large breathing holes help transition from mouth breathing and establish a functional airway in young children
• Class I offset provides optimum jaw positioning while improving breathing function
• Air spring base provides comfort for the jaw joints and helps to open the airway
• 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
