Placing the Mouthpiece
Prior to placing the Mouthpiece within the
patient’s oral cavity, moisten the Mouthpiece
and the patient’s lips.

Step 1

Step 3
Step 1
Hold the sides of the Control Head with
your index finger and thumb. With your
other hand, fold the Cheek Shield onto
the Tongue Retractor. Gently slide the
folded mouthpiece into the buccal
vestibule on the side to receive treatment.
Angle the mouthpiece to allow the lower
edge of the Tongue Retractor to move
along the buccal edge of the teeth.
Step 2
Move the bite block onto the occlusal
surface of the teeth, just distal to the
mandibular cuspid. Instruct the patient to
“rest gently” on the bite block to secure.
Step 3
Place the Cheek Shield into the buccal
vestibule. Move the Isthmus onto the
retromolar pad behind the maxillary tuberosity.
Adjust the Tongue Retractor in the lingual
vestibule as needed. Move the bite block
distally to provide more vertical working room.
