DR. STEVEN OLMOS: The Aqualizer is a dynamic device, and some of the advantages over other devices used for either deprogramming or decompression techniques is that it is able to move. The fluid travels from one side to the other, and as a result, as muscles start to relax, then the dimension of the mandible to the maxilla in three dimensions is changing, and therefore, a device early into treatment or for diagnostic means is important. When compared with other devices that are static, there is no allowance for these and, also, because they are of standard dimensions, so when placed in the mouth, these now don't equate for individuality.

The Aqualizers come in different volumes. There's a low, medium, and high volume, as opposed to other devices which are one size fits all, and many patients may need no interincisal separation or maybe a millimeter. Others might need four or five millimeters, and therefore, a device that's placed posteriorly, because of the inclination of the eminence will allow us to be able to have greater dimensional variations than things placed at the anterior portion.
