ADJUSTMENTS
We try our best to provide the most accurate/precise fitting pieces but in some cases minor adjustments are necessary to get the perfect fit. Here are some basic guidelines for minor adjustments:
-
Assess the Fit:
- Loose Fit: The grill may shift or fall off easily.
- Tight Fit: Can cause discomfort or irritation.
-
Tools:
- Clean hands: Essential for hygiene.
- Soft cloth: To protect the grill's surface.
- Pliers (optional): For very minor adjustments.
-
Adjustment Techniques:
-
Loose Fit:
- Gently squeeze: If the grill is slightly loose, try gently squeezing it together at the back to make it slightly narrower.
- Use pliers (with caution): If necessary, use pliers to very slightly bend the back of the grill inward. Apply minimal pressure to avoid damaging the grill.
-
Tight Fit:
- Gently bend outward: If the grill feels too tight, very carefully use pliers to slightly bend the back of the grill outward.
-
-
Test Fit:
- After each adjustment: Try the grill on to see if the fit has improved.
- Make small adjustments: Don't try to make drastic changes at once.
Important Notes:
- Avoid excessive force: Bending the grill too much can damage it.
- Hygiene: Always clean your hands and the grill thoroughly before and after any adjustments.
Remember: Dental grills are meant to be worn for short periods. Prolonged wear can increase the risk of oral health issues.
