Does the pressure from the FaceFormer® cause tooth displacement?

Frage

I was recommended the FaceFormer due to a CMD condition and I am very enthusiastic. Thank you very much for this great development. However, I am wondering whether the negative pressure can cause teeth to shift? I feel that the pressure on the incisors is relatively strong. When I take the FaceFormer out of my mouth in the morning, the pressure is clearly noticeable.

Antwort

The pressure on the teeth is actually an additional, extremely positive feature.

As you will see over the next few weeks, this method also corrects teeth that are rotated or protrude from the dental arch. During exercises and at night, the FaceFormer attaches itself to the teeth. As the mouth shield is flexible, the teeth that protrude from the dental arch receive increased pressure and gradually integrate.

The effect is similar to that of braces, except that the pressure distribution is more optimal with the FaceFormer. At the same time, the causes of the protruding teeth are also corrected. So first accept the pressure you feel. Nothing negative will happen as a result. Once the teeth have fitted into the dental arch, you will no longer notice anything.
