Description
Transition to nasal breathing and habit correction
The Myosa® for TMJBDS® S2 Mouldable (S2M) is used overnight only in patients who are using the S2 appliance but are struggling to retain it overnight. It is made with dual-layered technology which provides a soft outer layer and hard inner core to prevent appliance distortion during moulding. Eventually, the goal is to transition the patient to using the non-mouldable appliances so they can close their mouth overnight naturally.
The Myosa® for TMJBDS® S2 is used in the second stage of treatment when the patient’s Breath Hold Time (BHT) has reached 35 seconds or more. The S2 is the main appliance in the TMJBDS® range and works by advancing the lower jaw and opening the bite, which has the effect of opening the airway. It also has numerous other features which help it to treat intracapsular TMJ disorders while improving breathing and myofunctional disorders. For better retention during sleep, the patient can use the mouldable version of the S2 appliance (S2M). Progress to the S3 when the patient’s BHT reaches 45 seconds or more.
