Spoony Gloss - Corrects Lingual Posture The splint with a triple effect for the treatment of swallowing disordersSwallowing difficulties or dysphagia can occur in early childhood years.If left untreated, a poorly positioned tongue can lead to health consequences such as mouth breathing, tongue protrusion or speech disorders. Due to the individual adjustment options, the Spoony Gloss is suitable for everyone. For therapy of myofunctional disorder, the tongue is automatically guided against the palate during swallowing.With a myofunctional disorder, the tongue pushes against the front and side teeth, which can regularly lead to tooth and jaw misalignment. Further symptoms are mouth breathing and opening, sibilant sounds, increased salivation, forward displacement of the tongue during talking and speech disorders. Spoony Gloss Triple Effect The ready-to-use splint has three main functions for the therapy of myofunctional dysphasia. 1. The tongue is automatically guided against the palate during swallowing The double spoon provides a correction of the tongue movement during swallowing. The daily use of this splint for 15 minutes provides a long lasting training effect for repositioning the tongue into the correct position. 2. The clenching of the teeth during swallowing is stimulated The special design of the splint coordinates the neuromuscular system during the swallowing process. 3. The tension of the lip muscles is controlled The shape of the double cone is used for optimal positioning of the lips during swallowing. The conscious control of the swallowing process enables the treatment of Orofacial Myfunctional Disorders (OMD).

What is TMD?
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ dysfunction or TMD, respectively) is a disorder of the jaw joints that can have far-reaching mental and physical consequences. Patients suffer from a jaw misalignment, which in most cases triggers muscle tension and pain. TMD is triggered by different causes and comes with a variety of symptoms – it often affects other body regions beyond the jaw, such as the head, neck or back.
Do I have a TMJ dysfunction? Causes & symptoms
Both physical and psychological complaints, such as stress, can cause as well as indicate TMD. Orthodontic treatments and simple restorative procedures (such as fillings, crowns, bridges) affect the alignment of the teeth and can have a negative effect on the sensitive neuromuscular system. As a result, the jaw muscles become tense. Symptoms include: teeth grinding, headaches and tension in the shoulders and back.
How is a TMJ dysfunction diagnosed? The causes and symptoms are typically non-specific. A doctor determines whether you suffer from TMD through a differential diagnosis. Typical causes and symptoms include:

If you suffer from 3 or more symptoms, it is very likely that you have TMD.
TMD: Treatment
TMD patients can treat their complaints themselves with the Aqualizer, the RehaBite or the Spoony. Whether you need such a bite splint, you can find out by taking our test.
For immediate help and relief of pain, you can use the Aqualizer in addition to a hard grinding splint. This relaxation splint is filled with water and evenly balances the patient's jaw. This relaxes the chewing muscles and pain decreases after a short time. Please note: The Aqualizer is not a permanent splint and is not intended to replace it. The Aqualizer is not suitable for very strong grinders or pressers.
The RehaBite is an elastic bite fork filled with glycerine, with which you can train your jaw muscles. It helps you to relieve postures and prevent malocclusions in the long term. The hydrostatic principle allows you to balance your jaw as if on a seesaw, thereby relaxing the muscles. The RehaBite has the same effect as an occlusal splint.
