Design characteristics of the T4K® Phase 1
- Tooth Channels and labial bows – guide erupting teeth into correct alignment.
- Tongue Tag – trains the tongue to sit in the roof of the mouth, improving myofunctional habits.
- Lip bumpers – discourage overactive lip muscle activity.
T4K® Phase 2 – Correcting Tooth Alignment
Once the dental alignment improves, the harder T4K® Phase 2 (pink or red) is used. This is much stiffer (same principle as orthodontic archwire). As the teeth come into place, more force can be used to encourage their alignment. The myofunctional characteristics are the same as the T4K® Phase 1. Use the finishing T4K® Phase 2 for a further 6 to 12 months. Use beyond this period is recommended depending on the outcome and the next phase of orthodontic treatment.
Patient Selection
The optimum patient age for the T4K® is 6 – 8 years of age. Although it is possible to use the T4K® in patients ranging from the primary right through to the permanent dentition, as dentition progresses the effectiveness of the T4K® as the sole method of treatment is lessened.
