Anti-jaw Orthodontic Appliance Myobrace i3N/Orthodontic Teeth Trainer I-3N/ Class III Malocclusion Orthodntic Brace MRC I3N

CLASS III CORRECTION FOR THE GROWING CHILD.

The Interceptive Class III was designed specifically for the early interception of class III malocclusion. The appliance assists in repositioning the tongue from the lower jaw to the upper jaw. This helps to correct class III malocclusion if used early, before a child’s permanent anterior teeth are still coming through (ages 5 through 8; late primary and early-mixed dentition, three sizes available).

DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE I-3N

1,Flexible material - for use in more extreme starting cases and for improved patient compliance and comfort.

2,Tongue tag, guard and elevators - train the tongue to position properly.

3,Small breathing holes and dual arch form - prevent mouth breathing (a common problem in Class III patients).

HOW THE I-3N WORKS

Interceptive Class III  is a three-stage appliance system designed specifically to correct poor oral habits while limiting the excessive lower jaw development problems commonly associated with patients who have Class III. It is most effective before a child’s permanent teeth are coming through (ages 5 to 8) and is available in three sizes. The i-3N provides habit correction. It is made of flexible silicone to adapt to any arch-form and poorly-aligned teeth. Its flexible nature also means that it offers improved retention for night-time use.The i-3N is available in three sizes, in yellow or clear.

Patient Selection

The i-3N is aimed primarily at children 5-8 years of age in the late-primary and early-mixed dentition with class III malocclusion.  It was designed to limit unwanted lower-jaw growth by correcting lowered tongue and open mouth posture; problems which are evident in the majority of class III patients. The i-3N is not suitable for patients in the permanent dentition.

Directions for use

The i-3N must be worn for 1 hour each day and overnight while sleeping and always remember to follow these few simple steps:

• Lips together - at all times except when speaking.

• 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.

Cleaning the Myobrace® i-3N

The i-3N should be cleaned under warm running water every time the patient removes it from their mouth
