TLP

Myotalea® Tongue & Lip Press - TLP

Targeted improvement of the tongue, lip and airway muscles

The TLP focuses on improving the strength and tone of the tongue, lip and airway muscles. The appliance was the precursor to the TLJ appliance and can be used in a similar way, minus the jaw exercises. The unique advantage of the TLP is that the press tube is not fixated into an appliance, which allows targeted training especially in the middle and posterior thirds of the tongue. The TLP can be used with all of MRC's treatment systems or by practitioners providing myofunctional therapy.

Directions for Use

The TLP appliance should be used initially for 3 minutes, twice a day, to gain the full benefits of its exercising features, and can be increased in duration depending on the instructions from the practitioner.
