Discover gentle muscle deprogramming for lasting relief and a balanced bite.
Persistent jaw tension, uneven tooth wear, or recurring headaches are often signs that your bite isn’t aligned properly, forcing your jaw muscles to work overtime just to find a comfortable resting position. At Restoration Dentistry, we fit a custom Kois Deprogrammer, a slim, removable tray that gives those muscles a break so they can reset to a balanced position. If you’re in Meridian and looking for practical, non-invasive relief, ask us about Kois Deprogrammer therapy.
What Is a Kois Deprogrammer Appliance?
A Kois Deprogrammer appliance is a small, clear plastic tray that fits over the roof of your mouth. Each tray is fabricated from BPA-free, medical-grade resin for optimal biocompatibility. Unlike bulky nightguards, it provides just one point of contact, front tooth to front tooth, so your jaw muscles can “forget” old, stressful habits. Over time, as your muscles unwind, your jaw settles into a stable, pain-free position.
-
Treatment Timeline
Most patients wear their Kois Deprogrammer for 1–4 weeks, depending on how quickly their muscles adapt.
-
Muscle Reset
By limiting contact to the front teeth, the appliance stops your jaw from shifting into painful or imbalanced positions.
-
Position Verification
Once you can comfortably repeat that exact contact point without the appliance, once your muscles are fully deprogrammed, Dr. Clayton can accurately assess your true bite and make long-term treatment decisions based on that stable position.
Benefits of Muscle Deprogramming
- ✔ Goodbye to Pain
When your jaw learns to rest in its natural position, you can say farewell to chronic jaw, neck, and temple pain caused by constant clenching or misaligned bites. Over time, this relief extends to fewer tension headaches and improved comfort throughout your day.
- ✔ Balanced Bite, Stronger Teeth
By retraining chewing muscles to distribute forces evenly, muscle deprogramming protects the enamel and prevents uneven wear. That means fewer chips, cracks, and costly restorations down the road and helps you preserve your natural smile for years to come.
- ✔ All-Natural Healing
No pills, no injections, no invasive treatments, just your body’s innate ability to reset and heal itself. The Kois Deprogrammer appliance supports this process by providing the perfect environment for muscles to release old, stressful patterns.
- ✔ Discreet, Convenient Care
The transparent, detachable deprogrammer sits snugly in your mouth, allowing you to wear it comfortably at home while reading, working, or relaxing. Its discreet design lets you focus on healing without disrupting your daily routine.
Occlusal Disease Treatment Made Simple
Misaligned teeth may contribute to headaches, neck soreness, and uneven enamel wear. Our Kois Deprogrammer appliance retrains your jaw muscles to find a relaxed, even bite with no bulky guards or invasive procedures required.
What Makes Our Approach Holistic?
-
Whole-Body Connection
Your jaw doesn’t exist in isolation. Tight muscles, uneven bites, and TMJ discomfort can ripple out, affecting posture and sleep. We focus on the body as a unified system.
-
Minimal, Mindful Intervention
Instead of invasive procedures or masking symptoms, we guide your muscles back to balance with the Kois Deprogrammer appliance with no drugs and no drilling.
-
Empowered Patients
You’ll learn simple at-home practices, gentle stretches, breathing techniques, and stress-reduction tools to support your Kois Deprogrammer journey.
Patient Experience: What to Expect
- ✔ We’ll chat about your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle. Using models and digital scans, Dr. Clayton maps out your bite.
- ✔ A quick, painless appointment to custom-fit your Kois Deprogrammer appliance. You’ll leave with clear instructions and a wearing schedule.
- ✔ A few short check-ins let us track your progress. As your muscles relax, we adjust or remove the appliance together.
- ✔ Once your new jaw position is stable, small composite restorations or selective reshaping make sure your teeth meet perfectly; no appliance is needed.
While many patients experience great results with the Kois Deprogrammer alone, some cases may benefit from additional restorative or orthodontic treatment to achieve the best long-term outcome.
