The Myosa® System
The most convenient way to treat the causes of breathing and TMJ disorders!
The Myosa® appliances by MRC are a prefabricated appliance range designed to correct the underlying breathing and myofunctional habits which contribute to a variety of issues such as Sleep Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD) and TMJ disorders. Oral appliances are widely recognised as the safest and most convenient way of treating these disorders in patients of all ages and Myosa® utilises this approach while also addressing the causes of the problem.
CAUSES OF SDB
There are many underlying causes of Sleep Disordered Breathing. The most common of these are chronic mouth breathing, poor diet and nutrition, obesity and poor development of the jaws. Additionally, orthodontics with extractions can exacerbate breathing issues.
THE MYOSA RANGE
The Myosa® range includes sleep appliances suitable for a wide spectrum of people and includes appliances to suit patients from as young as two-years-old through to adults as well as specialty appliances for jaw joint (TMJ) disorder and teeth grinding associated with SDB.
THE RESEARCH
In addition to having a negative impact on mood, energy levels, ability to regulate stress, behavioral problems and emotional well being, severe sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, have been associated with the causes of life shortening events such as heart disease or stroke.
How MyOSA® works
TARGETING THE CAUSES
Rather than just focus on alleviating the symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB), the philosophy behind the Myosa®myofunctional sleep appliance range is aimed at treating the upper airway and neuromuscular dysfunction that are the fundamental causes of SDB. The Myosa® range functions by posturing the lower jaw slightly forward, correcting tongue position and opening the bite, which opens the airway, regulates breathing and helps the wearer to have a good night sleep.
AIRWAY CORRECTION FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
The Myosa® range includes sleep appliances suitable for a wide spectrum of people and includes appliances to suit children as young as two-years-old through to adults as well as specialty appliances for jaw joint (TMJ) disorder and teeth grinding, which are also associated with Sleep Disordered Breathing.
MyOSA for Kids
It has become apparent the causes of SDB develop during early childhood. Rather than allow this airway dysfunction to persist into adulthood the Myosa® for Juniors and Kids corrects it early.
