TLJ

Myotalea® Tongue, Lip & Jaw Appliance - TLJ

Improvement of tongue, lip, jaw and airway muscle strength

The TLJ focuses on improving the strength and tone of the tongue, lip, jaw and airway muscles. These muscles are typically weak in patients with orthodontic, TMJ and breathing disorders. It has multiple features which allow the exercise of all of these muscles in the one appliance. The TLJ is used as an adjunct active myofunctional exercising appliance in all of MRC's treatment systems, but can also be used on its own by practitioners providing myofunctional therapy.
