WHY DR. BRUX?
PREVENTION AND CURE
No effective pharmacological cure or therapy exists for bruxism, except preventing the damage by using a night guard “made to measure” by the dentist. The night guard is a shield, like the mouthpiece used by boxers but its customised for your bite, worn at night, and is able to create a protective barrier between the two dental arches. It is estimated that over 8,000,000 people in Italy should use a bite tray, but for reasons of expense many postpone it. Now there’s Dr. Brux®, the first alternative night guard “made to measure” at home, to give everybody the chance of protecting themselves from the effects of bruxism.
CUSTOMIZABLE
You just have to immerse Dr. Brux® in boiling water for a few seconds, then put it into your mouth to obtain a “customized” night guard that fits as if it were an impression of your teeth, that gives perfect stability and excellent comfort.
RELAXING
Dr. Brux® has “gauged” occlusal thicknesses which help bring the jaw into a rest position, thus aiding face muscle relaxation. The thickness of the night guard actually creates a lengthening of the muscles and therefore a reduction in the muscular strength of the chewing muscles. This effect reduces the muscle force due to stress and tension, carrying out all the effects of a stretching (lengthening) action on the muscles during sleep phases.
COMFORTABLE AND STABLE
Dr. Brux® is made of a special biocompatible, thermoplastic material, with two programmed degrees of hardness. The first (1), the softer of the two, is used for the parts of the night guard in contact with the external walls of the teeth and the gums, to give stability and comfort. The second (2), the harder one, is used for support, to ease sliding of the teeth during grinding and for greater resistance to wear.
FUNCTIONAL
Another unique feature of Dr. Brux® is the three central holes. These have been made to aid breathing when Dr. Brux® is used.
HYGIENIC AND PRACTICAL
It is supplied with a hygienic case and made in four colours for easy recognition by different members of the family.
IT CAN BE REFITTED
Dr. Brux® can be remoulded several times without changing its physical and mechanical features. If the fit is not successful or your dental situation changes for any reason, don’t worry: with Dr. Brux® you still have the chance to remold it.
