MRC Trainer for Infant

How the Infant Trainer™ Soft works

• 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.

Direction for use

The Infant Trainer™ must be worn for 1 hour each day and overnight while sleeping and always remember to follow these few simple steps:

• Lips together – at all times except when speaking.
• Breathe through the nose – to assist the development of the upper and lower jaws, and to achieve the correct bite.
• No lip activity when swallowing – which allows the front teeth to develop correctly.

Cleaning the Infant Trainer™  should be clean under warm running water every time the patient removes it from their mouth.

Use Myoclean™ tablets to correctly clean twice a week. Myoclean™ is the recommended cleaning agent for MRC’s appliances.
