Aer Dorsal Morning Positioner Guide
10 minutes every day towards better bite health
How does it work?
The Aer Dorsal MAS comes with a morning positioner.
The positioner is used to tension and wake up the retractive ligaments and muscles in the mouth after a full night of lower jaw repositioning while using the Aer Dorsal MAS.
The exercises in this document assist the lower jaw to return to a comfortable overbite and overjet (MMR) ''bite'' for normal function during the day.*
What do I do?
The exercises in this guide can be done in the morning, while you are still in bed. We suggest you wake up 10 minutes earlier, so you can fit these exercises into your morning routine.

Step 1.
Remove the Snore Attack Shield and the bottom and then top trays of your device from your mouth
Step 2.
Place the morning positioner in your mouth onto your bottom teeth.
Step 3.
Put the tip of your tongue up and to the back of the roof of your mouth, as far back as you can. Hold your tongue in the position and close your teeth together
Step 4.
Relax your tongue while keeping your mouth firmly closed in this position
Step 5.
Clench your teeth as hard as you can while in the position from step 4. Hold this clench until it becomes slightly uncomfortable to keep going.
It is normal to feel some discomfort in your muscles while doing this excercise.
Step 6.
When you can no longer tolerate the discomfort, release the clench slightly while trying to slide your lower jaw further back. Clench your teeth again as hard as you can tolerate.
Step 7.
After performing a couple of clenching exercises, we recommend that you relax your muscles by opening your mouth as wide as you can and wiggling your lower jaw from side to side comfortably- do not hurt yourself
Step 8.
Repeat steps 3 through 7 for 10 minutes every morning.
If you have any further questions, please consult the dental practitioner that provided the Aer Dorsal to you.
