The Morning Repositioner is an innovative bite-restoring appliance crafted to bring the patient's mandible back to its centric position following overnight or ongoing open airway treatment with a bite corrective device or bruxing splint.
Unique Design and Benefits
The Morning Repositioner stands out with its strategically placed raised blocks of compressible material located above bicuspids. This design ensures that all clenching forces are directed straight down toward the root, preventing lateral or forward pressure on the anterior teeth. When in contact with the upper dentition, the appliance only touches the raised blocks.
- Minimized Forward Mandibular Posturing: The patient benefits from isometric exercise of the musculature, activating the masseter muscles and relaxing the lateral pterygoid muscles.
- Greater Durability: The Morning Repositioner features an over-layer of specially developed laminated material, enhancing its longevity and durability, particularly for night splints.
Patient Instructions
Each case of the Morning Repositioner comes with comprehensive patient instructions. Patients are advised to place the appliance on their lower arch and wear it for approximately 10 minutes while carrying out their morning routine. During this time, patients should do a series of clenches on the raised blocks and engage in clenching or chewing up and down as often as possible.
