These are home care instructions to treat painful muscle spasms and manage your clicking and popping joints. This is part of your responsibility in eliminating your TMJ problem. The therapy is to be done twice each day. In the morning before breakfast and in the evening before retiring.

This is the same procedure you performed at our office when it took you only minutes to cycle the painful spasms. Each time you treat yourself it will take less time to eliminate the pain.

1. Place the rubberized deprogrammer between your front teeth, slide your jaw forward, then all the way back.
2. Immediately apply the hot wet, compresses or the towel over both your joints. The compresses must be kept hot throughout your treatment.
3. Start biting on the deprogrammer for 6 seconds, then relax your biting for 5-6 seconds. Bite again for 6 seconds, etc. until the pain is eliminated.
4. After the pain is eliminated you should hold the deprogrammer between your teeth with only light pressure, continue to apply the hot compresses for another 5 minutes.
5. Upon removal of the deprogrammer do not alarmed that your teeth do not fit together correctly. This is to be expected. Do not be alarmed if it hurts to open wide immediately after your treatment.

Do not be alarmed if the character of timing of your click or pop is different for it usually will be.

1. Thoroughly brush and floss your teeth. 
2. In an anti-clockwise motion, twist and pull off the clear plastic cap from the end of the syringe.
3. Place the mixing nozzle on the end of the syringe and secure by twisting the mixing nozzle in a clockwise motion.
4. Place a small amount of gel (tear drop, equivalent to about 1/3 of size of the tiny blue rubber cap) in each tooth compartment of the tray.
5. Place tray in your mouth for at least 45min, and maximum of one hour only. Any excess gel that squeezes out onto the gums should be wiped away with a tissue immediately. Overloading trays with gel may cause tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. A little gel goes a long way! This should be done for about 14 days consecutively, not more than 21 days.
6. If you experience excessive sensitivity, you may use the gel on alternate days instead. It will still work just fine. You just need to do it over a longer period to achieve the same result. You may also rub Sensodyne/ Oral B Sensitivity/ Colgate Sensitivity toothpaste in the area (several times per day) after bleaching to dampen the sensitivity.
7. While wearing your trays you may notice “bubbling” within your trays. This bubbling is part of the bleaching process. You may also notice opaque white patches or ‘crack lines’ on your teeth. These are naturally there. Do not worry about those as they will disappear after the completion of the bleaching treatment.
8. On removal of the tray gently wipe off the excess gel with a tissue and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
9. Do not swallow. Do not brush your teeth immediately after the bleaching process.
10. Rinse the tray with cold water, or gently clean with your toothbrush, then put them back into the case provided. Do not use hot water.
11. Do not smoke, or drink any red wine, tea or coffee, or anything that may stain a white shirt badly (eg curry), within 2 hours after each bleaching application.
12. Store bleaching tubes and trays in a dry, cool place.
