7. Tips for best results

• Keep your mouth closed and the lips together when the TRAINER is in place.


• Even when the TRAINER is out of your mouth you should still have your lips together, and breathing should be through the nose.


• Keep the tongue tip on the spot where the tongue tag is at all times even when the TRAINER is not in use.


• Use the TRAINER EVERY DAY for a minimum of 1 hour plus at night while sleeping.


• Fill out the treasure map or the calendar, it will help you to keep a personal record plus you can see the changes on the photos.

Your Dentist/Orthodontist will take records/photos. However it is advantageous to do the following for your personal records.

• Take profile photos face on and smiling with teeth together.

• Take photos at the start of your treatment and then every 2 months.

• Compare photos, you should see the changes yourself.

Every day for a minimum of 1 to 4 hours


• Choose an activity such as reading, T.V., homework, piano practice, skateboarding, soccer, computer, videogame, or even while working.

• When finished, rinse the TRAINER thoroughly under running water, then place it back into the container supplied.

Every night while sleeping

• The TRAINER may fall out at night. This is normal so just persevere.

• If night-time use is not posible, increase daytime use.

Don't expect to see dental changes within weeks, but you should see an improvement in function within a short period. This is usually reflected in the face and lip posture.

You want to see:

• Mouth closed most of the time.

• Improved swallowing - muscles around the mouth should not move when swallowing.

• Improved posture.
