MyoBrace J2 Myofunctional Appliance for Children Aged 3 to 5 Years

The Myobrace for Juniors is a functional orthodontic solution designed for children between 3 and 5 years old. It was developed to correct inadequate myofunctional habits, which can lead to dental misalignment and improper jaw and facial development.

• Hollow tongue positioner: Helps in correcting the tongue position.
• Tongue elevators: Train the tongue to position correctly on the upper jaw.
• Elevated sides: Contribute to the proper development of the dental arches.
