Trainer for Braces Phase 1 - T4B Phase 1

Improves comfort and stability during braces treatment

The T4B protects the soft tissue inside the mouth (lips and cheeks) from irritation by brackets and wires—a major cause of discomfort in the initial stages of orthodontics. In addition, the T4B assists in the correction of myofunctional habits that cause the teeth and jaws to develop incorrectly. These include myofunctional habits such as tongue thrusting, incorrect swallowing, and mouth breathing. This improves the effectiveness and stability of orthodontic treatment.

The T4B is NOT a mouthguard. For sports protection, ask your orthodontist for a Powrgard®4-Braces mouthguard.

Design Features

The design features of the T4B are ideally suited for improving comfort and stability of treatment with braces or aligners in the mixed to permanent dentition, while also helping to correct breathing and soft tissue dysfunctions.

Directions for Use

The Trainer 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.
