he T4B protects the soft tissue inside the mouth (lips and cheeks) from irritation by brackets and wires—a major cause of discomfort in the initial stages of orthodontics. In addition, the T4B assists in the correction of myofunctional habits that cause the teeth and jaws to develop incorrectly. These include myofunctional habits such as tongue thrusting, incorrect swallowing, and mouth breathing. This improves the effectiveness and stability of orthodontic treatment.
The T4B is NOT a mouthguard. For sports protection, ask your orthodontist for a Powrgard®4-Braces mouthguard.
