Consultants’ Comments

• “Quick and easy to fit.”
• “I am able to provide the patient with an immediate device to take home to see if they get TMD and muscle myalgia relief.”
• “Same day, no models!”
• “Easy to use in a pinch and can use Peter Dawson’s NTI/deprogrammer methods fast.”
• “The rigid shell allows it to adapt better than the somewhat softer shell in the OTC doctor’s nightguard.”
• “The fit is better and the end product is more durable than QuickSplint”
• “It is easy to fabricate chair side. It has great retention once fully hardened, and it works very well in a dentition with severe crowding. One patient said it was the most comfortable guard she has ever worn.”
• “Nice device for acute treatment. The innovation is the rigid frame allowing for improved adaptation to undercuts and improved retention.”

Description

Grind Relief Pro is a thermoplastic medical device intended to treat nighttime or stress-induced bruxism and reduce muscle activity by at least 60%. Built with a patented “Central Power Bar”, this additionally helps by preventing wear through the appliance.

Unique Attributes

• Covers more of the dentition for a more secure fit (back to the 1st or 2nd bicuspid)
• Can be used on either the maxillary or the mandibular arch
• Adjustable with an ability to refit the appliance if the fit loosens or changes
• Can be used with a Class 2 occlusion

Clinical Tips

• The thermoplastic material gets very sticky after heating, don’t touch it.
• Once the device is fabricated and the patient is wearing it regularly, have the patient warm it under warm water before putting it in.
• Train the patients on how to adjust the device by including them on the initial fitting.
• We found that many small adjustments can be done at home without having to return to the office.
• Leave it in for 10 minutes after fitting for improved retention.

Indications

• Bruxism patients
• Great for immediate assessment of TMD and Muscle Myalgia when screening for muscle or joint pain
