Directions for Use
1. Insert ZQuiet into mouth before sleep by holding the
mouthpiece in the folded position with the upper tray facing up
and hinge towards the back of your mouth.
2. Allow your teeth to settle into the upper and lower trays.
You should notice that your lower jaw will feel slightly more
forward than normal.
3. Upon waking, remove ZQuiet and follow the
recommended cleaning and storage instructions.
Adjustment Tips
It may take time to adjust to your ZQuiet. You may experience slight drooling or
discomfort. Stay with it! You will be rewarded with quiet, restful sleep.
• Use your ZQuiet for short periods of time before sleep
(20 –30 minutes, while watching TV or reading).
• Soak it in hot tap water for one minute to soften prior to use.
• Upon waking, your bite may feel slightly out of alignment. This sensation
should go away during the next few hours. Gently chew sugarless gum to
speed up the process.
• If you experience jaw soreness, do a gentle fingertip massage:
1. Place your index and middle fingers on both sides of your jaw just in front of
your ears (This is the jaw joint).
2. Bite down to feel this muscle contract so you can pinpoint exactly where to
massage.
3. Relax the jaw muscle and use your fingers to massage it in a circular motion.
Or, place a warm washcloth over the affected jaw muscles for up to 20
minutes.
• Take a night off. Give your jaw muscles a rest as you slowly become
accustomed to your ZQuiet.
• For further relief, consider taking an over-the-counter
anti-inflammatory pain medication.
• For additional comfort, trim your ZQuiet with small scissors to improve its fit.
To avoid irritation to the gums after trimming, use a fingernail file or emery
board to smooth any rough edges.
