5DS Total Performance & Wellness Core Mouthpiece Fitting Instructions

What You Will Need

  1. Microwave
  2. Mug of Hot Water
  3. Mug of Cold Water
  4. Fork
  5. Timer (Phone)
  6. Mirror

STEP 1: MOLD THE MOUTHPIECE

  1. Place the mug of hot water in the microwave for 90 seconds.
  2. Once it's done, remove it from the microwave and set your timer for 35 seconds.
  3. Put the mouthpiece into the hot water and start the timer.
  4. Use a fork to remove the mouthpiece precisely at 35 seconds to avoid over boiling.
  5. Allow the mouthpiece to cool for about 10 seconds or slightly longer if necessary. (Note the mouthpiece may have slightly distorted and developed a rougher texture while the connector bar may have shrunk. This is normal)

STEP 2: FITTING THE MOUTHPIECE

  1. Holding the mouthpiece with the NAP logo facing up, gently position it on your lower jaw, ensuring the connector bar rests behind your front teeth. Align it so that it starts at the back of your third tooth on each side. Use both hands to adjust the mouthpiece to fit correctly.
  2. Stick out only the tip of your tongue past your teeth and gently bite down, ensuring you bite directly onto the top bite pads. Then, maintain the tongue's “tip out” position and bite down hard. (This is a crucial step in activating your personal neuromuscular fit.)
  3. Remove your tongue and continue biting down gently with your mouth closed, creating a suction, while molding the front and sides using your fingers. (See video above for details).
  4. Remove the mouthpiece and inspect it. You should see bite marks on the top and between the bottom tracks. 

STEP 3: LOCK THE FIT

  1. If satisfied, place the mouthpiece in a mug of cold water to lock in the shape. Your custom mouthpiece is now ready to use.
  2. NOTE: If you are not satisfied with the fit, you can refit the mouthpiece following the same instructions.

STEP 4: Verify Your Fit

Review the diagnostic images below. Your custom device must show deep, distinct structural teeth impressions. If your mouthpiece does not exhibit these clear anatomical definitions, your water was not hot enough or the timing protocol was missed. Without these impressions, your jaw is not locked into structural alignment and the desired wellness and performance effects will not be realized.
