Myobrace® for Kids Broad Stage 1 - K1 Broad

Establish nasal breathing and habit correction

The K1 Broad focuses on establishing nasal breathing and myofunctional habit correction for patients with a genetically broad arch form. It is soft and flexible, giving the best compliance, while being adaptive to any arch form and malocclusion. It has small breathing holes to establish continuous nasal breathing and myofunctional features to promote correct habits. Move to the K2 Broad only when the K1 Broad is staying in overnight and nasal breathing has been established.


K1 Broad Design Features

The design features of the K1 Broad are suited to establish nasal breathing and the initial correction of myofunctional disorders in the mixed dentition for patients with a genetically broad arch form.

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.
