HOW THE K2 WORKS

Myobrace K2TheMyobrace for Kids™ is a three-stage appliance system designed specifically to correct poor oral habits while treating upper and lower jaw development problems. TheK2provides arch development in addition to habit correction. It featuresDynamicore™ with a Frankel Cage which assists in developing the arch form and improving the dental alignment. TheK2is available in three sizes and comes in pink, blue and clear.MRChas pioneered the use of appliances to correct myofunctional habits in growing children and has proven success in orthodontic correction without braces. This treatment can also lead to better facial development in growing children. The key to this treatment is correcting the position and function of the tongue, obtaining correct nose breathing and retraining the oral muscles to function correctly.Myobrace® appliances effectively train the tongue to position correctly in the upper jaw, retrain oral musculature and exert light forces to align the teeth.Patient SelectionTheMyobrace for Kids™ is most effective when a child’s permanent teeth are coming through (ages 5 to 10) and is available in three sizes.
