When cool
enough,
insert over the lower teeth
while your bottom jaw remains
at least
1
-
2 mm in
front of
the upper.
(fig.9a)
Best at 50%-80% of maximum extension of jaw without
discomfort.
Use the thumbs to press the wins against the upper.
Note: Instruction video suggests cutting off the back end of lower mouthpiece. This only needs
to be done if the back molars are at a higher plane then the other teeth in the mouth, resulting
in an in ability to close the mouth when the upper and lower are in place. See trouble shooting.
