Dentrade RehaBite RB600

RehaBite is an innovative physiotherapy exercise device for the treatment of TMJ at home and for the treatment of jaw disorders.

RehaBite is a hydrostatic device (elastic fork filled with glycerin) to rebalance the neuromuscular system, the chewing muscles of the right and left side, under conditions of controlled strength.

The RehaBite allows for intraoral sensorimotor (coordinative) training.

RehaBite is a hydrostatic system that causes the neuromuscular system to rebalance the chewing muscles of the right and left side under conditions of controlled strength. With this, you rehabilitate muscle pain in the chewing system and perform jaw exercises for the TMJ yourself, easily from home.

Why use the RehaBite device:

• for exercises against TMJ pain
• for misaligned jaw exercises
• to relax the jaw in case of TMJ disorders
• as TMJ physiotherapy
• as a coordinated trainer of the chewing muscles with bio-feedback
• as a treatment for irregular chewing pressure to dissolve the posture that relieves pain
• as an alternative to drugs or expensive custom bites

Diagnosis and treatment: is RehaBite right for me?

The RehaBite is suitable for patients with persistent acute ailments, tension and pain in the jaw muscles. Relieves the suffering of muscle imbalances and helps to resolve relaxing postures due to TMJ or other diseases.

Specific symptoms that can be treated with a RehaBite include:

• Cracks of the jaw, obstructions of the temporomandibular joint and misalignments of the jaw
• Pain in the jaw muscles and jaw joints
• Difficulty in chewing
• Disturbing sensation of individual teeth
• Teeth grinding at night (bruxism)
• Tension headache (migraine)
• Pain / tension in the neck, throat, shoulders and back
• Permanent ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• Vertigo, balance disturbances
• Osteoarthritis of the jaw as a late consequence
• Increased sensitivity to light

NOTE: Your doctor diagnoses the clinical picture through a clinical functional analysis. If necessary, the diagnosis is specified by axiography or EMG.

• In addition to jaw muscle training and TMJ therapy exercises, RehaBite is also used by stroke patients, patients with limited jaw opening or with pronounced muscle imbalances.
• In dental practice, musculoskeletal pain of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is usually treated with occlusal splints and/or the use of medication.
• An occlusal splint is an important tool to relax the masticatory musculature and interdisciplinary musculoskeletal system, as TMJ is the cause of 80 % of all head, neck and back pain. Recent scientific findings show that coordinative training contributes an essential component to the rehabilitation of the craniomandibular system.
• With the RehaBite, daily temporomandibular joint exercises train your jaw muscles and, with regular training, enable successful muscle pain therapy. The RehaBite can be used as an alternative or supplement to the bite splint (RehaSplint) .
