Myobrace® for Juniors Stage 1 - J1

Establish nasal breathing and habit correction

The J1 focuses on establishing nasal breathing and initial myofunctional habit correction. It is soft and flexible, giving the best compliance while being adaptive to any arch form and malocclusion. It has large breathing holes to initially open the airway and a posterior air spring base that encourages exercise of the muscles of mastication. Move to the J2 when the J1 is staying in overnight and nasal breathing has been established.


Design Features

The design features of the J1 are suited to establish nasal breathing and the initial correction of myofunctional disorders in the primary dentition.

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.
