Ease patient jaw discomfort with SomnoMed’s Morning Repositioner!! A hands free bite deprogrammer designed to help return a patients mandible back to its centric position...
The unique design incorporates raised blocks of compressed material, strategically placed above the bicuspids; thereby directing clenching force straight down towards the root, as opposed to laterally or anteroposterior. Morning Repositioner is intended to be worn for 10 minutes each morning upon removal of SomnoDent. Exercises should be performed by repeatedly clenching on the device. When biting down the only occlusal contact should be on the raised blocks. These isometric exercises are intended to activate the masseter muscles and relax the pterygoid muscles in the hope of minimising mandibular posturing forward. By performing exercises with a Morning Repositioner every morning your patients bite should quickly return to its centric position.
“Jaw exercises might help relieve masticatory muscle stiffness and accelerate the repositioning of the mandible to the normal position, in addition to inhibiting or minimizing the occlusal functional changes in predisposed patients” Ueda et. al 2009; Effect of Jaw Exercises on Occlusal Function in Patients with OSA during Oral Appliance Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
