Square mouthguard

• Involved in mixed dentition, as an addition to, or as a next stage after PLANAS tracks.
• Allows alternate unilateral chewing exercises.
• The U shape shapes the mandibular arch.
• The shape of the maxillary arch, complying with the values of the KORKHAUS chart, promotes lateral occlusion.
• The vestibular shield corrects breathing through the mouth.
• The "lip bumper" extensions neutralise the contractions from the lip-chin region and encourage transversal jaw growth.
• The propulsion plane releases the mandible, facilitating the establishment of secondary swallowing.
• The tongue is in an upper position thanks to the lower bilateral blocks (Exclusive to INNOVA PHARM).

• The Square Mouthguard is placed in the mouth, with the bilateral blocks under the tongue.
• When the mouthguard is in the mouth, patients breathe through their nose.
• Chewing exercises can be carried out on the practitioner's advice.
• The recommended time for wearing the mouthguard in the day is 2 h in sessions of 15 to 30 minutes during which time chewing, breathing and swallowing exercises can be carried out.
• Wearing the mouthguard at night helps to establish breathing through the nose as a reflex action as well as automatic secondary swallowing.
• The square mouthguard is available in 10 sizes: it is measured by calculating the sum (SI) of the mesiodistal diameters of the upper incisors. (from SI 25 to SI 36.2). A conversion table helps you to choose the right mouthguard.
• The Square Mouthguard should be cleaned in cold water with a toothbrush and toothpaste, before and after use. The recommendation is to soak it for 1 hour a week in mouthwash.
