MouthX is a device adapted to each user, designed to fit your dental anatomy with precision. That's why we conduct a compatibility check before manufacturing, to confirm that the device will adapt well to your mouth.
Below, you'll find the dental and anatomical factors that affect MouthX compatibility. Please note: this is general guidance. The final decision always belongs to your dental professional.
Factors that affect compatibility with MouthX
In any of the following cases, we recommend addressing the issue with your dentist before purchasing MouthX:
-
Missing key teeth: If you don’t have enough teeth to support the device, we can’t guarantee its proper function.
-
Active orthodontic treatment (braces or aligners): If your teeth are still moving, the shape of your mouth is not yet stable.
-
Severe jaw pain or dysfunction (TMJ): If opening or closing your mouth causes significant discomfort, it's best to wait.
-
Advanced periodontal disease: When the gums are heavily damaged and the teeth are unstable.
-
Active maxillary/mandibular osteonecrosis: A serious bone condition that requires specialized care.
-
Severe neuromotor difficulties: If you are unable to control your tongue or jaw movements properly.
-
Mixed dentition (children/adolescents): If you still have baby teeth or are transitioning to permanent ones.
Conditions that require case-by-case evaluation
In these cases, we recommend checking with your dentist to verify whether MouthX is a good fit for your specific dental situation:
-
Thin or receding gums (thin periodontium or gingival recession): Gums may be more delicate.
-
Mild to moderate gum disease (with no dental mobility): May be viable if your teeth are stable.
-
Deep bite (vertical overbite greater than 5 mm): When the upper teeth significantly cover the lower ones.
-
Active cavities in key supporting teeth (premolars or molars): It depends on which tooth is affected.
Why is this verification important?
The device rests on specific points in your mouth. Not all teeth are equally important for its fit.
For example:
-
If a molar that supports the device is damaged, it may need to be treated first.
-
If the issue is in an area that doesn’t affect the device's fit, it might not be a problem.
What really matters
A dental scan and compatibility check are essential to ensure the device fits well and that you can use it comfortably for long sessions.
