Myobrace® Interceptive Class III Stage 3 - i-3H

Finalise alignment, habit correction and retention

The i-3H focuses on final alignment of the teeth, while retaining the arch form, breathing and myofunctional habits, for Class III patients in the mixed dentition. By this stage of treatment, patients' teeth will be mostly aligned and, therefore, the i-3H can be used to finalise any remaining mild malocclusion.

What causes orthodontic problems?

The majority of our children will develop crowded teeth and incorrect jaw alignment, Modern research has shown that mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, reverse swallowing and thumb sucking-known as incorrect myofunctional habits-are the real causes of crooked teeth. These habits limit the development of the child's jaws and face resulting in orthodontic problems. These causes cannot be corrected with fixed braces.
