Myobrace® Interceptive Class III Stage 1 - i-3N

Establish nasal breathing and habit correction

Interceptive Class lll™Myobrace®

Myobrace® Interceptive Class lll™ is a three-stage appliance system designed specifically to correct poor oral habits while limiting the excessive lower jaw development problems commonly associatedwith patients who have Class lll. Myobrace® Interceptive Class lll™ is most effective before a child's permanent teeth are coming through (ages 5to 8} and is available in three sizes.

The i-3N focuses on establishing nasal breathing and initial myofunctional correction for Class III patients in the mixed dentition. 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.

What causes orthodontic problems?

The majority of our children will develop crowded teeth and incorrect jaw alignment. Modern research has shown that mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, reverse swallowing and thumb sucking-known as incorrect myofunctional habits-are the real causes of crooked teeth. These habits limit the development of the child's jaws and face resulting in orthodontic problems. These causes cannot be corrected with fixed braces.

Normal vs Crowded teeth

The function of the tongue, cheeks and lips determines tooth position. Correct facial growth depends on correct function and breathing patterns.
