MRC Trainer for Infant Phase 1 Soft Blue

To assist development of teeth and jaws in the growing child.

The Infant Trainer™ is a single-size appliance that actively encourages patients to chew correctly and exercise their jaw muscles. The Infant Trainer™ encourages nose breathing, and trains the patient to swallow and position the tongue correctly. Research clearly illustrates that correct facial, jaw and dental growth depends strongly on all of these factors.

How the Infant Trainer™ Soft works

The Infant Trainer™
The Infant Trainer™ is an active exerciser that encourages patients to chew correctly while using the jaw muscles. The Infant Trainer™ helps patients breathe through their nose and it also trains them to swallow and position their tongue correctly. Research clearly illustrates that correct facial, jaw and dental growth depends strongly on all of these factors. The Infant Trainer™ may prevent the need for orthodontic treatment such as braces and extractions once the patient grows older.

Patient Selection
The Infant Trainer™ is a viable alternative for all parents with children 3 - 5 years old who are familiar with pacifiers but are concerned about the possible negative dental impacts associated with pacifier use, thumb sucking, incorrect swallowing and mouth breathing. The Infant Trainer™ discourages all these poor habits, and stimulates a child’s jaw to ensure that correct facial and jaw growth is achieved.

Important Points

The steps for correct dental and facial development are:
• Lips together.
• Breathe through the nose.
• No lip activity when swallowing.

Poor myofunctional habits such as incorrect swallowing and breathing through the mouth are the major cause of misaligned teeth and poor jaw development. Research has shown that the correction of these poor myofunctional habits improves facial and dental development.

Due to the nature of removable appliances, patient compliance is essential. Therefore it is important to only select motivated patients and parents. If motivation is a problem, it may be better to suggest the use of conventional brackets.
