Can water help with your TMD diagnosis and treatment? The answer is yes! The AQUALIZER'S fluid quickly creates a "perfect oclussion" by eliminating all occlusal interferences and creating perfect bilateral balance. It allows the muscles to accurately correct both mandibular and condylar placement, making it of great value in treating and diagnosing TMD and occlusion.
INSTANT EMERGENCY AND TEMPORARY SELF ADJUSTING ORAL SPLINT.
How the Aqualizer works.
The Aqualizer contains two fluid filled pads with a channel connecting them. This allows the fluid to move back and forth, balancing and equilibrating the occlusion.The perfect fit anywhere within the envelope of function.
The Aqualizer's " Floating Action " lets the muscles take over for the first time.
The muscles themselves correct strain producing occlusal and mandibular malrelationship accurately, naturally and in all three planes of space, relieving muscle strain immediately. Pain fades away very quickly. Patients feel better in just a few minutes. It is a giant leap forward.
TMD diagnoses and treatment begins without discluding or disabling the muscles.
First, use the Aqualizer to preview the effects of an optimally balanced occlusion. If the Aqualizer relieves pain, occlusal treatment is indicated. Choose the treatment plan, ( splint, equlibration, orthodontics...) most appropriate for the patients needs and desires.
Neuromuscular bite registration and correction guidance made easy.
After the Aqualizer has relieved the pain and conditioned the muscles it is easy to use bite registration material to transfer the " neuromuscular " Aqualizer position to models for fabrication of diagnostic rehibilitation plates, orthotics and night disengagement plates for bruxism that will be most effective and require fewer adjustments.
Ideal for patients awaiting splint delivery.
Use the Aqualizer to control symptoms, wearing the splint as little as needed; at night or during daytime periods of stress and pain. The Aqualizer is not to be worn for more than eight hours in a twenty four hour-period. Replace the Aqualizer as needed after they lose their fluid. ( Usually a week or two for non bruxers.)
GREATER EFFECTIVENESS FOR:
Treating TMJ/PDS symptoms.
Headache, Neck and Shoulder Pain & Stiffness,TMD related pain from trauma and whiplash. You can easliy provide fast symptom relief at the first office visit.
Orthodontics and Cosmetics.
Better functional treatment planning with a preview of harmony between teeth, mandibular positions, TMJ's and entire muscle complex. Relief of orthodontic triggerd muscle pain during treatment, without inhibiting tooth movement.
Oral Surgery.
Pre-surgical differential diagnosis and post surgical pain and inflammation relief. 
AQUALIZER size selection: All Aqualizer models are available in three different vertical dimensions:"low" "medium " and "high." The thickness is controlled by the amount of fluid in the Aqualizer.
Medium volume Aqualizers are used by most (90%) patients.
Low volume Aqualizers are used for bite registration and for patients with restricted opening or inadequate freeway space.
High volume Aqualizers are used when a patient has excessive freeway space and/or needs a greater vertical dimension to fill the space between the upper and lower occlusal surfaces.
