Deprogrammers

Deprogrammers Made Easy!

These highly effective appliances can be used to treat bruxers, clenchers, headache sufferers, as well as to diagnose TMD, relax masticatory muscles, and determine proper TMJ position. Deprogrammers take posterior teeth out of contact to remove any interferences that can cause muscle disharmony and allow the condyles to seat properly.

* May be contraindicated for patients with internal derangement.
