DNA mRNA Biomimetic Expanders

Congrats! You just received your Biomimetic Device and we are excited for the progress we will make together.
Please visit this page frequently so you do not forget the activation method!

 

Precautions for the healthiest outcome:

  • never activate in less than 1 week.

  • never wear device longer than 16 hours.

  • going slower is ok, going faster is not.

  • listen to the body and take the time to allow for bone to grow where we have expanded.  

Upper DNA mRNA

  1. The bottom key-hole , closer to the back teeth

    one full turn per week - follow direction of yellow arrow.

  2. The key-hole closer to front teeth

    1/2 turn per week - follow direction of yellow arrow.

If wearing less than 16hrs per day, please turn/activate the expander once per 1.5-2weeks.

Lower DNA mRNA

  1. Only one keywhole here,

    one full turn per week - follow direction of yellow arrow.

If wearing less than 16hrs per day, please turn/activate the expander once per 1.5-2weeks.

Wear Time

16 hours on, 8 hours off.

  • Continuous wear through evening and over night

  • Intermittent wear during the day.

Removable design is a part core mechanism. Please do not wear more than 16 hrs.

Tips on Turns/ Activations

Goal is once per week, if wear time is 16hrs per day.

Helpful Tips:

  • Pick a day of the week, and make this your activation day!

  • When delaying activation due to less wear time, just change your activation day to the day you are delaying it to for moving forward.

  • i.e. Wednesday is activation week. next week, want to activate on Sunday instead due to less wear time. now activation day is Sunday.

  • If expander starts feeling too tight, and not seating well, step back on the activation, turn the key the opposite direction slightly, until the expander settles well. And do the full week of 16hrs /day until activating again.

  • Cannot see the activation hole? Sometimes it could be plaque covering the hole. We have had patients use lemon water soak and successfully brush off the plaque so they can see the hole again!

Relaxator

  • Adjust relaxator to level 1 resistence.

  • Use only the lips to hold the mouthpiece.

  • Breath in through the nose.

  • Breath out into the mouthpiece.

  • Increase resistance level to where you can adequately gain better breathing muscle tone and diaphragm engagement.
