Dr. Brux NIGHT SNACK Description Dr. Brux is a practical self-shaping bite guard indicated for protecting teeth from bruxism or grinding. Anatomical shape for maximum comfort thanks to a special thermoplastic material with two different levels of hardness. The first, the side wall, provides stability and comfort; the second, the occlusal surface, creates a supporting surface that facilitates the sliding of the teeth during grinding and makes the bite resistant. Made of thermoformable material. Immerse Dr. Brux in boiling water for a few seconds and insert it into the mouth to create a bite that adapts to the teeth, providing increased stability and comfort. Thanks to the calibrated occlusal thicknesses that help bring the jaw into a resting position, muscle relaxation is facilitated. The thickness of the bite creates an elongation of the muscles and therefore a reduction in the forces exerted by the masticatory muscles. Hygienic and colorful, it comes with a protective cover and is made in four different colors to be easily recognizable within a family unit. How to use The adaptation must take place on the teeth of the upper arch. Hold the “Cross-shaped System” adapter and insert it into the Dr. Brux Bite. Before continuing with the customization, try inserting the bite into your mouth to familiarize yourself with the subsequent maneuvers. In a saucepan, bring approximately 500 ml of water to the boil: the temperature should reach 100°C (do not use the microwave to boil the water). Remove the saucepan from the heat or electric stove. Holding the personalizer as shown, immerse the splint completely in the boiling water (100°C) for 6 seconds (using a timer). Remove the splint and shake vigorously to remove any residual water. This will keep the splint warm but will not burn it. Slightly widen the edges of the bite to facilitate insertion over the teeth. Caution: Avoid bending the edges inwards and biting them. Insert the bite into your mouth, gently closing your teeth, keeping the adapter in place. With your lips closed, inhale and suck firmly for at least one minute to remove air from your mouth. This will create a vacuum and the edges of the bite will adhere perfectly to the outer and inner surfaces of the teeth, thus achieving an optimal bite shape. At the same time, press your fingers on your cheeks to ensure that the outer part of the bite adheres to the teeth. After about one minute, remove the bite from your mouth and immerse it in cold water for at least two minutes. Then remove the adapter and the bite is ready for use. If Dr. Brux feels unstable, repeat the customization process, paying extra attention. To improve customization, if the molding has not been precisely adjusted to all parts of the bite, we recommend repeating the process, immersing the bite only in the affected area using one of the four attachment points on the adaptation device. Do not throw away the aligner because if the dental situation changes, it will be possible to reshape the bite. If burrs or creases appear in the material after customization, remove them using scissors or a cutter. If Dr. Brux is too long, shorten it near the pre-cut using scissors or a cutter. After use, before storing the bite in the box, rinse it with a toothbrush under cold running water. For proper hygiene and cleaning of Dr. Brux, we recommend that you thoroughly disinfect it weekly to prevent the growth of bacteria caused by dental plaque. warnings The use of Bite is recommended in the presence of permanent teeth. In case of marked dental or gingival dysfunctions, in the presence of fixed or removable orthodontic appliances or removable dentures, seek the advice of a dentist before using Dr. Brux. Do not remodel the occlusion more than 10 times. Do not use the microwave to heat water. Never wash the bite with boiling water. Avoid storing the bite near heat sources. Do not use the bite with the customization device inserted. Conservation Store at room temperature. Shelf life in intact packaging: 60 months. Format 1 piece package Code 13215
