How The A1 Works

A1 is a three-stage appliance system suitable for the permanent dentition. The A1 provides habit correction and initial dental alignment. It is made of soft and flexible material to adapt to a wide range of arch forms and poorly aligned teeth. The soft material allows for better retention and comfort in the initial stages of treatment. The A1 is available in regular and large. MRC has 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. Although these corrections are more difficult in adult patients, the treatment principles are the same to obtain optimum results

Patient Selection

The A1 is the softest appliance in the Myobrace for Adults system. It is a suitable starting appliance to treat poor myofunctional habits in cases that require a more flexible appliance due to severe crowding, or for increased patient comfort.

Directions for use

The A1 must be worn for one to two hours each day and overnight while sleeping and always remember to follow these few simple steps:
• Lips together at all times except when speaking or eating.
• 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.
• Improved dental alignment.
• Improved facial development.

Cleaning the Myobrace A1
The A1 should be cleaned under warm running water every time the patient removes it from their mouth.
