Myobrace® for Braces Stage 1 - B1

Establish nasal breathing and habit correction with braces 

The B1 focuses on establishing nasal breathing and myofunctional habit correction for patients who are using braces. 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. It also features braces channels to accommodate brackets and wires. The B1 is ideal for initial levelling and alignment with fixed orthodontics but can also be used throughout the entire orthodontic treatment plan.


Design Features

The design features of the B1 are suited to establish nasal breathing and myofunctional correction in patients using braces.

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.

Case Studies

MRC clinics primarily focus on myofunctional orthodontics and therefore do not typically treat patients with fixed orthodontics alone. Although our customers around the world continue to enjoy the benefits of the for Braces series, we are unable to provide one of our own cases that have started and finished in the B series. You may be interested in a case report that was in the 'American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics' which looks at MRC's appliances in combination with braces.
