Deprogrammers
For effective bite stabilization
Deprogrammers are temporary oral devices used in dentistry to "deprogram" the muscle memory in your jaw muscles. A deprogrammer can alleviate habitual, subconscious tension in the jaw muscles. In this regard, anterior deprogrammers focus more on muscular issues rather than dental ones.
These dental appliances are created to remove the effects of the current occlusal arrangement and reduce the memory impact of the chewing muscles. This enables the condyles to position themselves in their highest, unstrained state within the glenoid fossa, commonly known as the centric relation (CR).
Deprogrammers assist dentists in assessing a patient's bite stability and finding the best jaw position.
They promote muscle relaxation by eliminating contact between the back teeth, which may alleviate muscle tension, headaches, and excessive tooth wear.
Deprogrammers can aid in recognizing TMJ issues by isolating joint movement, enabling dentists to evaluate joint stability.
They can serve as a foundation for treatment planning, particularly in complicated cases.
