Myosa for Kids – KS2

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 nasal breathing and habit correction

The KS2 focuses on establishing nasal breathing and correcting myofunctional disorders in children who are mouth breathers and have poor myofunctional habits. It is used in the mixed dentition stage and has small breathing holes to establish nasal breathing and myofunctional features to promote correct habits. Upon correction of breathing and myofunctional disorders, the patient may progress to the Myobrace® System to focus on myofunctional orthodontic treatment, designed to improve orthodontic problems for further habit correction.
