Kois deprogrammer

A Kois deprogrammer is a specialised dental appliance used to diagnose and treat occlusal issues. It helps in identifying the ideal jaw position for treatment planning, making it a valuable diagnostic tool for managing complex cases of bite dysfunction and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Unlike full-coverage splints, this device fits over the upper front teeth and separates the posterior teeth, preventing clenching and allowing the jaw to move freely.

We craft each Kois deprogrammer with precision to ensure an exact fit.

Identify ideal jaw position for effective TMJ treatment planning with Avant Dental’s precisely crafted Kois deprogrammers.

Precise bite evaluation

The Kois deprogrammer is designed to relax the jaw and help identify the patient’s natural bite. By disengaging the posterior teeth, it allows for an accurate assessment of the occlusal alignment. This makes it easier to diagnose and treat bite-related problems.

Minimalist design

The device’s slim and unobtrusive design makes it comfortable to wear while still providing effective deprogramming. It is less bulky compared to traditional splints, allowing patients to adapt to it more easily.

Effective jaw relaxation

By reducing muscle tension in the jaw, the Kois deprogrammer helps relieve discomfort associated with TMJ disorders. It promotes a more relaxed position of the jaw, making it easier to identify and address bite misalignment. This feature sets it apart from other types of splints.

Customised fit

Our expert technicians carefully create each Kois deprogrammer to ensure the appliance fits precisely and comfortably in the patient’s mouth without requiring constant adjustments.

Durable and long-lasting

Made from high-quality materials, our Kois deprogrammers are built to withstand the pressures of daily wear. Superior durability ensures long-term use without frequent replacements, which makes it a cost-effective solution for diagnosing and treating occlusal issues over extended periods.

Why partner with Avant Dental Lab

At Avant Dental, we specialise in producing custom-made Kois Deprogrammers designed to fit seamlessly between the upper and lower teeth without interfering with the occlusal surface. Achieving a precise fit is crucial to the effectiveness of the device, ensuring patient comfort and diagnostic accuracy. Each appliance is tailored to the patient’s unique dental structure, helping diagnose occlusal dysfunction and other related issues. Our precision process ensures that the device accurately identifies the same initial contact and assists in determining the patient’s optimal jaw position.

Enhanced treatment precision with Kois Deprogrammer for TMJ cases

When managing TMJ dysfunction or addressing occlusal dysfunction, the Kois Deprogrammer is an essential diagnostic tool that helps ensure precision in evaluating centric relation—the optimal position of the lower jaw in relation to the upper jaw. The device utilises an anterior bite plane and an anterior bite platform to interact with the lower central incisors, enabling accurate bite registration and identifying the same initial contact across occlusal surfaces.
By guiding the jaw into a relaxed position, the Kois Deprogrammer helps eliminate old muscle memory that may have been influenced by abnormal occlusal attrition or previous bite patterns. This muscle deprogramming is critical for assessing occlusal stability and identifying discrepancies in occlusal alignment. The deprogrammer aids dentists in determining the first point of contact during occlusion and assessing the patient's optimal jaw position, allowing for effective treatment planning.
By incorporating the Kois Deprogrammer for TMJ and occlusal cases, dental professionals can offer patients enhanced treatment outcomes. This diagnostic tool not only helps resolve bite issues but can also alleviate facial pain associated with TMJ dysfunction, providing significant relief for patients with persistent jaw-related discomfort.
