How do I integrate antibruxing bio feedback with the Aqualizer™?
Insert the Aqualizer™ and have the patient close with mild biting force, while asking them if it feels different to close with the Aqualizer™ in. Almost all will tell you it does. Tell them to try to remember the different feel and position of their jaw while clenching on the Aqualizer™. Have the patient give themselves the auto suggestion that, whenever they feel themselves clenching, as above, even when they are sleeping, STOP IT! Just relax while swallowing into the support of the water system. Most patients report longer use life of the Aqualizer™ using bio feedback and autosuggestion to reduce damaging nighttime activity. If you are a dental professional, please review our bite splint fitting instructions for diagnosing and treating TMJ disorder patients with the Aqualizer™.
