Why Morning Repositioning Matters
The purpose of a custom Morning Repositioner and how it guides the mandible back toward the dentist-recorded baseline occlusal position.
What Happens After Overnight Advancement
During the night, a mandibular advancement appliance holds the lower jaw in a forward position. In the morning, the jaw benefits from guidance back toward its natural, baseline position.
A Morning Repositioner is designed specifically for this purpose — to support the mandible as it returns toward the dentist-recorded baseline occlusal position after overnight advancement.
What the Morning Repositioner Is
The Master Sleep 20™ Morning Repositioner is a purpose-designed morning appliance included as part of the complete system. It is not the same device worn overnight.
It is intended to guide the mandible gently toward the recorded baseline position, complementing the overnight appliance rather than replacing it.
Design Features
The Morning Repositioner is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible while still providing purposeful guidance:
- Minimal buccal and lingual extension to help reduce unnecessary appliance bulk.
- Reduced posterior extension that terminates at approximately the mid-first-molar level.
- Low-profile occlusal registration designed to minimize unnecessary vertical opening.
A More Complete System
Together, the overnight appliance and the Morning Repositioner form a coordinated system. Each serves a distinct role within the patient's daily routine.
The treating dentist determines how the Morning Repositioner fits into each patient's care plan.
