The Myobrace appliance range is an advanced myofunctional orthodontic system,
intelligently structured for a clearer approach to appliance selection.
The appliances incorporate cutting-edge design characteristics that are unrivalled by competitors;
taking orthodontic treatment to a whole new level.
For the clearest approach to appliance selection The Myobrace System uses familiar classifications
to separate each appliance group. These groups are:
Myobrace for Juniors, Myobrace for Kids, Myobrace for Teens and Myobrace for Adults
representing the primary, early-mixed, late-mixed and permanent dentition stages.
In addition to these main appliance groups there is a specialty group:
Myobrace Interceptive Class III, that offers treatment solutions for more specific cases displaying
class III malocclusion. There is also the Myobrace for Arch Development, which provides treatment
solutions for cases which require increased arch development in combination with MRC's appliances.
To further simplify appliance selection, each appliance group generally consists of three
appliances covering three stages of treatment. Each stage clearly outlines the appliance's
purpose during a specific stage of treatment. The treatment stages are as follows:
Stage 1 - Habit Correction; Stage 2 - Arch Development; and Stage 3 - Final Alignment and Retention.
The 'Myobrace for Teens' is the only exception to this format. It has a separate dental alignment
stage; making it a four stage appliance group.
With an understanding of the appliance groups and stages, the appliance names will make
perfect sense. Each individual appliance name directly corresponds to both the appliance
group, and the stage within the group.
For example; the Myobrace for Kids appliances are named K1, K2 and K3. Another example is
the Myobrace for Teens, which uses a four-stage appliance sequence, and are named T1, T2, T3 and T4.
This naming style applies for the majority of appliances within the Myobrace range.
There are many new and some existing appliances that make up The Myobrace System. There are
four main appliance groups that directly relate to the dentition; and two appliance groups
which provide more specialised treatment:
Myobrace for Juniors is a three stage appliance system for the primary dentition - J1, J2 and J3
incorporating fundamental design characteristics based on its predecessor, the Infant Trainer.
Advancements to the design features have been developed specifically for habit correction in young children.
Myobrace for Kids for the mixed dentition is made up of the K1, K2 and K3.
The K1 and K2 appliances were formerly named the i-2n and the i-2 - MRC's most advanced myofunctional
appliances. The K3 is a newly-developed appliance used for final alignment and retention.
This incorporates MRC's new tongue tag development which allows for better tongue position in the final alignment stage of treatment.
Myobrace for Teens consists of a four-stage appliance sequence with features that actively
develop the arch-form and align the teeth as the permanent dentition is developing.
The T1 and T2 are used to correct the poor myofunctional habits and develop the arch-form,
while the T3, formally the 'Myobrace Regular', features tooth slots and actively works to
align the teeth. Final retention is achieved with the T4; a new appliance featuring MRC's
new tongue tag development for better tongue position in the final alignment stage of treatment.
Myobrace for Adults is designed specifically for the permanent dentition. The A1, A2, and A3
make up the three-stage appliance group that incorporates many of MRC's proven design principals,
including features that correct poor oral habits, along with other newly adapted
design characteristics to treat malocclusion in adults.
Myobrace Interceptive Class 3 is a specialty appliance range which features design characteristics
unique to the correction of class III malocclusion in the mixed dentition. The i-3N and i-3,
formally part of the Interceptive Series, remain unchanged. The newly-developed i-3H
is used in the final stages of treatment for alignment and retention, and features MRC's
new tongue tag development for better tongue position in the final alignment stage of treatment.
Myobrace for Arch Development is a range of appliances designed to provide treatment solutions
for cases that require increased arch development in combination with MRC's appliances. The
Bent Wire System or BWS is now categorised into this system, and is joined by the Biobloc
and MRC's new composite buildup technique Myolay which assists in realigning the jaws and the occlusion.
MRC's new range of Myobrace appliances are accompanied by educational materials that
support treatment, including new websites that offer special features not seen in the industry before.
MRC's website myoresearch.com features an appliance selector which allows users to enter
patient characteristics and receive insight and assistance on matching an appropriate
appliance or sequence of appliances to an individual patient's needs.
Whether you're new to myofunctional orthodontics or you are already familiar with MRC's appliances,
Myobrace allows for effective appliance selection and improved treatment outcomes.
