CHARACTERISTICS:
The OBA is characterised by a double channel entirely covering the two dental arches in a vestibular band, lingual and an occlusal plan to establish a correct dental arch relationship (angle class I). PRINCIPLE:
This active mouth guard acts as a dental guide. The dynamic, so-called functional, device provides perfect proprioceptive stimulation (teeth, ligaments, muscles,…), supports balance muscular work and, and thus, huge relaxation of the temporomandibular (jaw) joints.
-
- OBJECTIVES:Through natural muscular work and a perfect proprioceptive stimulation, this functional guide enables:
- an improvement of the chewing movement,
- repositioning of the jaw, – balanced occlusion,
- true effectiveness against bruxism and temporomandibular joint problems, rehabilitation of chewing, breathing through the nose, swallowing and phonation.
- reduced snoring and better quality sleep. FUNCTIONS:
The Kinepod active mouth guard has two active functions:
Because of its elastic material, with its shape memory, acts as an active spring forcing the muscles to return to their primary functions.
Because of its conscious chewing, the OBA requires the patient to work actively (self-stimulation).
