The INFANT TRAINER™ from Myofunctional Research is an active exerciser that encourages your child to chew correctly while using the jaw muscles. Most importantly, the INFANT TRAINER™ makes your child breathe through their nose, it also trains them to swallow and position the tongue correctly. Research clearly illustrates that correct facial, jaw and dental growth depends strongly on all of these factors. The INFANT TRAINER™ may prevent the need for orthodontic treatment such as braces and extractions as your child grows older. MRC has a series of integrated TRAINERS for mixed and permanent teeth to ensure your child develops correctly as new permanent teeth appear from ages 6 to 12 years.


Features

The INFANT TRAINER™ has several key features to assist the growth and development of your child:

1: The Air Spring allows a gentle, active stimulation to the growing facial and jaw muscles.

2: The Tongue Tag actively trains the child to position their tongue and swallow correctly.

3: When in place, the Tongue Guard prevents thumb sucking and subsequent tongue thrusting. This breaks a serious habit that causes many dental and jaw joint (TMJ) problems in later life.




Research shows that mouth breathers have less attractive faces than conventional nose breathers. The design of the INFANT TRAINER™ teaches your child to breathe through their nose. The change of breathing patterns has been shown to correct jaw growth and improve general health.
