Possible side effects

Wearing  the  therapeutic  appliance  can  lead  to  increased  salivation.  Pain  in  the  jaw
joints and muscles, the palate, gums and the teeth, as well as headaches can also occur
temporarily.

It can happen that you recognize a slight change of occlusion after taking out the SICAT
OPTISLEEP  in  the  morning.  Normally,  this  will  go  away  quickly.  Finding  your  normal
bite again can be accelerated by jaw exercises, chewing gum or the like or by using a
special bite trainer.

If slight medical complaints persist, please contact your dentist.

Long-term  effects  could  be,  under  certain  circumstances,  movement  of  the  teeth  or
changes to the dental occlusion.

In the event of severe pain, respiratory problems, nausea, allergic reactions or uninten-
ded tooth movements, remove the splint and contact your dentist immediately.

We recommend regular check-ups with your dentist!
