 Myobrace J1 Dental Orthodontic Teeth Trainer MRC J1 Dental Ortho Brace

Design Characteristics of J1

1. Flexible Material – for use in more extreme starting cases and for improved patient compliance and comfort.

2. Air spring – allows gentle and active stimulation to the growing facial and jaw muscles

3. Tongue Tag, guard and elevators – train the tongue to position properly and prevent thumb sucking.

3. Extended lip bumper and high sides – discourages overactive lip function and encourages nasal breathing.

How The J1 Works

J1 is a three-stage appliance system designed specifically to correct poor oral habits while treating upper and lower jaw development problems. MRC has pioneered the use of appliances to correct myofunctional habits in growing children and has proven success in orthodontic correction without braces. This treatment can also lead to better facial development in growing children. The key to this treatment is correcting the position and function of the tongue, obtaining correct nose breathing and retraining the oral muscles to function correctly. Myobrace® appliances effectively train the tongue to position correctly in the upper jaw, retrain oral musculature and exert light forces to align the teeth.

Patient Selection

J1 is most effective in the primary dentition from as early as three years of age.

Directions for use

The J1 must be worn for one to two hours each day and overnight while sleeping and always remember to follow these few simple steps:

• Lips together at all times except when speaking or eating.

• Breathe through the nose, to assist the development of the upper and lower jaws, and to achieve the correct bite.

• No lip activity when swallowing, which allows the front teeth to develop correctly.

• Improved dental alignment.

• Improved facial development.

Cleaning the Myobrace J1
The J1 should be cleaned under warm running water every time the patient removes it from their mouth.
