MRC Myobrace For Kids - K3

Habit correction and jaw development.

Myobrace for Kids™ is a three-stage appliance system designed specifically to correct poor oral habits while treating upper and lower jaw development problems. Myobrace for Kids™ is most effective after a child’s permanent front teeth have come through and before all the permanent teeth have erupted.

 Design characteristics of the K3

•    Firm construction - provides excellent tooth alignment and retention..
•    Hollow tongue tag; tongue guard and elevators - train the tongue to sit in final correct position and prevent thumb sucking.
•     Extended lip bumper - discourages strong, overactive lip muscles.

Appliance use

Designed For
• Class II Division 1 + 2
• Anterior (upper + lower) crowding
• Malocclusion
• Deep bite
• Open bite

Important Points

The steps for correct dental and facial development are:
• Lips together.
• Breathe through the nose.
• No lip activity when swallowing.

Poor myofunctional habits such as incorrect swallowing and breathing through the mouth are the major cause of misaligned teeth and poor jaw development. Research has shown that the correction of these poor myofunctional habits improves facial and dental development.

Due to the nature of removable appliances, patient compliance is essential. Therefore it is important to only select motivated patients and parents. If motivation is a problem, it may be better to suggest the use of conventional brackets.

How the K3 works

Myobrace K3

The Myobrace for Kids™ is a three-stage appliance system designed specifically to correct poor oral habits while treating upper and lower jaw development problems. The K3 provides final alignment and retention. Its firm polyurethane construction provides excellent tooth alignment and retention. The hollow tongue tag encourages final tongue position. The K3 is available in three sizes and comes in pink and blue.

Patient Selection
The Myobrace for Kids™ is most effective when a child’s permanent teeth are coming through (ages 5 to 10) .

Directions for use


The K3 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 K3
The K3 should be cleaned under warm running water every time the patient removes it from their mouth. Use Myoclean™ tablets to correctly clean twice a week. Myoclean™ is the recommended cleaning agent for MRC's appliances.
