The Pre-Orthodontic Trainer

TOOTH GUIDANCE

Molded into the anterior section (similar to orthondontic archwire).

1. Tooth Channels.
2. Labial Bows
(impart a light force on misaligned anterior teeth).

MYOFUNCTIONAL TRAINING

3. Tongue Tag
for the proprioceptive positioning of the tongue tip as in myofunctional and speech therapies.

4. Tongue Guard
stops tongue thrusting when in place and forces child to breathe through the nose.

5. Lip Bumpers
discourage over-active mentalis muscle activity.

JAW POSITIONING

6. Edge to Edge Class I Jaw Position
is produced when in place (same as most functional appliances). Combined with prevention of tongue thrusting and forcing the child to nose breathe is how the Class II corrections are achieved in the cases shown (a big assistance to the Orthondontist in future treatment).
