Myoretainr®

For enhancing stability after orthodontic treatment

The Myoretainr® is a flexible prefabricated appliance designed to be used as a retainer after orthodontic treatment. The appliance can be used on its own or in combination with bonded lingual retainers. It has features that not only help to hold the teeth in their aligned position, but also improve breathing and oral muscle issues, which further improve retention. The Myoretainr® can also be used in the early stages of orthodontic relapse to realign the teeth.

The Myoretainr® is optimised for comfort, however, for more durable retention in patients who are more prone to relapse, consider using the Myoretainr® Hard (RH) appliance.


Design Features

The Myoretainr® is optimised for comfort and includes a range of design features for maintaining tooth alignment while also improving breathing and oral muscle function.

Directions for Use

The Myoretainr® can be used overnight only while sleeping, however, for maximum effectiveness, it should be worn for one to two hours while awake as well. Your teeth may become slightly sensitive in the early stages of treatment. This is quite normal, but if the pain becomes excessive, decrease application time and consult your doctor.
