Hydrostatic Splint Appliances for instant TMD Treatment The Aqualizer‘s fluid system creates perfect bite balance and stability through a minimally invasive approach to TMD treatment. It works by allowing the muscles themselves to automatically reposition the jaw to where it naturally works best. For TMD pain relief, restoring this balance is essential. Unlike other available dental splints, the Aqualizer self-adjusting oral splint is a TMD treatment which allows the body to unravel bite distortions and establish optimal systemic function and balance. The Aqualizer takes the uncertainty out of TMD diagnosis and treatment. While other dental splints and TMD treatment options can distort the jaw, causing TMD pain, the Aqualizer facilitates relief through ideal occlusion automatically and naturally. The Aqualizer is also a perfect supplement in other medical disciplines besides dentistry. Today this device is integrated into physical therapy, osteopathy, orthodontic treatment, orthopedics and many other medical disciplines.

Small occlusal interferences of just a few microns, are disruptive for the propriorreceptors of the stomatological system. Patients are trying to compensate occlusal interference by adapting the mandible into a new habitual relieving position, with consequences for the attached tissue structures. The first hydrostatic splint Aqualizer has been invented in the 1979 from Prof.Martin Lerman at the University of Illinois (TMJ Research Center). Since then Aqualizer has been used from countless patients as an instant drug free pain reliever. Latest clinical researches have proofed the therapeutic effect of hydrostatic self balanacing splints. Reestablishing of a pain free neuromuscular position of the mandible after orthodontic treatment is essential for a long lasting therapeutic success. Hydrostatic Splints are valuable tools especially during the process of orthodontic treatment www.dentrade.com Dentrade International e.K.
