Why is the Aqualizer® more effective than other splints at getting at the root causes of TMJ disorders?
What many do not realize is that TMJ splints may distort or disable the natural action of the muscles. In effect, they guess at what the occlusion should be, at times exacerbating TMJ disorder symptoms. The Aqualizer® mouthguard for grinding teeth, on the other hand, does not impose any set hard-and-fast adjustment. By contrast, the Aqualizer®’s multi-functional water system “floats” the jaw to allow the body itself to decide where the jaw should be positioned. Without the Aqualizer®’s fluid system, it is almost impossible to be sure that the bite is in harmony with the rest of the body.
