Myobrace® for Braces Stage 3 - B3

Retention in combination with clear aligners

The B3 has wider tooth channels to accommodate clear aligners and vacuum-formed retainers. It focuses on continuing habit correction when patients are wearing clear aligners, but also retaining the correct habits when patients are using vacuum-formed or clear retainers. It has small breathing holes to maintain continuous nasal breathing and myofunctional features to promote correct habits. If the patient is using bonded lingual retainers, we recommend the T4A Phase 2 (large).


Design Features

The design features of the B3 are suited to accommodate clear aligners or vacuum formed retainers in orthodontic patients.

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.

Case Studies

MRC clinics primarily focus on myofunctional orthodontics and therefore do not typically treat patients with fixed orthodontics alone. Although our customers around the world continue to enjoy the benefits of the for Braces series, we are unable provide one of our own cases that has started and finished in the B series. You may be interested in a case report that was in the 'American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics' which looks at MRC's appliances in combination with braces.
