MUNCHIES®
VIBE II
for all your orthodontic patients
Why is choose Munchies® VIBE devices?
Munchies® VIBE II has been created to ensure the very best outcome in your clear aligner therapy treatment and to alleviate the symptoms of dry mouth. The device delivers controlled and symmetrical applied vibratory forces to each tooth to help aid in the acceleration of tooth movement and stimulate your salivary glands. This will optimise the seating of your aligners and encourage the production of specific cells around your teeth which will allow for the bone to change as needed. The device operates at a frequency that will encourage salivary flow, particularly when needed prior to meals, by ensuring that the vibration is delivered to the glands through your teeth and jaw bones.
Why is VIBE different to other flat plane devices?
Unlike flat plain devices, Munchies® VIBE II has two uniquely shaped patented nodular attachments heads, with unique design that adapts to the occlusal plane and encapsulates every tooth simultaneously within the quadrant, providing symmetrical acceleration and idyllic predictability.
1. Unprecedented aligner seating: Munchies® EPS helps accurately seat clear aligners for a truly intimate fit to optimize the clinical efficacy of the in-built aligner force system.
2. Accelerated orthodontic tooth movement: Munchies® EPS, Munchies® FIRM and Munchies® VIBE II ensure that aligners fit as intimately as possible, increasing the likelihood that treatment plans will progress as quickly as possible and minimizing the chance of time-consuming and costly refinements and adjustments. Munchies® VIBE II delivers specific high-frequency acceleration (HFA) forces to stimulate osteoclastic activation leading to faster and more predictable orthodontic movements.
3. Effective orthodontic analgesic: Use of Munchies® can provide pain and discomfort relief as effective as acetaminophen or ibuprofen after a new aligner insertion by minimizing capillary strangulation in the periodontal ligament.
4. Rapid Salivary Flow Stimulant: Use of Munchies® VIBE II stimulates your salivary glands and is recommended to be used prior to meals to alleviate symptoms of dry mouth. Munchies® VIBE II promotes the activation of tonic vibration reflex (TVR) with its specific vibrations5.
5. Proven relapse mitigator post treatment: Many patients are inconsistent with their use of their retainers and minor relapse is a common occurrence. If relapse is detected early enough and adequate space is available, the aberrant teeth can be moved back into the correct position with the use of clear retainers and Munchies® Maintain devices. The patients contact points, adjacent to the relapse site, should be checked carefully to ensure that no collisions have occurred. Relief of these areas need to be provided.
