Understanding the Kois Deprogrammer: A Guide to Bite Alignment
At Onyx Dental Care, we prioritize your comfort and oral health. The Kois Deprogrammer is a specialized dental appliance designed to relax your chewing muscles and evaluate your bite for long-term improvements, improving bite alignment. This guide answers common questions about the Kois Deprogrammer, including how it works, how to care for it, and what to expect during your treatment.
How Long Do I Need to Wear My Kois Deprogrammer?
Your dentist will typically recommend wearing the Kois Deprogrammer for up to one month. During this time, it should remain in your mouth at all times, except when eating meals or cleaning your teeth. Consistent use ensures optimal results.
How Does the Kois Deprogrammer Feel in My Mouth?
The Kois Deprogrammer is designed to be as comfortable as possible. While it may feel slightly unusual at first, most patients adapt within a few days. Some people may initially experience mild soreness in their chewing muscles, but this resolves as the muscles relax and adjust. Bite alignment ensures your bite is proper.
How Much Will My Bite Change?
The change in your bite after wearing the Kois Deprogrammer is typically very slight. However, the improvement in how your bite feels can be significant, leading to better comfort and alignment.
If I Decide Not to Proceed with Treatment, Will My Bite Remain Changed?
No. If you decide not to continue treatment, your chewing system will adapt back to your original bite within a few hours of leaving the Kois Deprogrammer out of your mouth.
How Do I Care for My Kois Deprogrammer?
Proper care of your Kois Deprogrammer is essential for maintaining its function and longevity. For proper bite alignment, follow these steps:
- Clean Regularly: Brush your appliance gently with a small amount of toothpaste and rinse with warm water each time you clean your teeth.
- Store Safely: Keep the Kois Deprogrammer in its retainer box whenever it is not in your mouth.
- Bring to Appointments: Always wear or bring your Kois Deprogrammer to dental appointments.
If you have any questions or concerns about caring for your Kois Deprogrammer, contact your dentist for guidance.
