Product Description
The Myotalea® TLJ appliance is the world’s first active intra-oral myofunctional appliance, designed to specifically strengthen the tongue, lip, jaw, pharyngeal and supra-hyoid muscles. With the advent of the Myotalea® TLJ, an option now exists for practitioners to improve lip seal, tongue, pharyngeal and supra-hyoid muscle strength as well as the transition to nasal breathing in one easy to use, integrative appliance system.
The Myotalea® TLJ is an active myofunctional appliance used for strengthening the tongue, lip and jaw muscles. Additional exercises also target the airway muscles, which are typically weak in patients who show symptoms of Breathing Disordered Sleep (BDS). This is an essential part of myofunctional orthodontic, BDS and TMJ treatments.
The TLJ has numerous features which aid in the correction of dysfunctional soft tissue habits including the following:
- Habitual mouth breathing
- Lips apart rest posture
- Low tongue rest posture
- Lack of strength in the throat and airway muscles
- Incorrect swallowing pattern
It is recommended that the Myotalea® TLJ appliance is initially used for approximately 3 minutes twice a day to gain the full benefits of its muscle exercising features. This simple sequence will aid in developing better muscle strength and tone. Build up to the recommended time durations based on your current functional abilities. It is important that you challenge yourself and push your muscles to fatigue to start building strength and tone.
