A bite that doesn’t align well with the jaw joints and muscles can create daily frustration, such as difficulty chewing harder foods (like carrots, bagels, nuts, or gum), trouble finding a stable bite, facial or jaw discomfort, and accelerated tooth wear that can lead to repeated dental treatment. The Kois Deprogrammer in Phoenix, AZ, is a proven diagnostic appliance designed to help dentists identify a patient’s most stable jaw position and determine the true source of bite-related problems.
The Kois Deprogrammer is a removable, precision-crafted plastic appliance that fits over the hard palate and creates a single point of contact between the lower central incisor and the anterior bite plane. Unlike full-coverage splints, this minimalist device separates the back teeth to prevent clenching and tooth interlocking, allowing the jaw muscles to relax and the lower jaw to settle into a more natural position. This makes it easier to evaluate bite stability and distinguish between Constricted Path of Closure (CPC), Occlusal Dysfunction, and Parafunction (bruxism).
At 24th Street Dental Biltmore, we custom craft each Kois Deprogrammer for an exact, comfortable fit and ask patients to wear it from one week up to one month to help the jaw muscles “reset” and establish a consistent, repeatable bite position. If you’re in Phoenix, AZ, and dealing with jaw discomfort, bite instability, or signs of wear from clenching or grinding, our Kois Deprogrammer solutions combine precision, comfort, and advanced occlusal analysis to deliver clearer answers and guide accurate TMJ care, restorative planning, and long-term bite correction so that you can get lasting relief.

Patients experiencing jaw pain, difficulty chewing, excessive tooth wear, clenching, grinding, or TMJ-related symptoms may benefit from a Kois Deprogrammer. It is especially helpful for individuals with complex bite concerns requiring detailed evaluation.
As the jaw muscles relax and settle into their natural position, many patients experience improved comfort, better bite stability, and reduced facial or joint discomfort. The information gathered also allows for more precise treatment planning.
Most patients wear the appliance for one week to one month, depending on how long it takes for the jaw muscles to relax and establish a repeatable, stable bite position.
There is no downtime. Some patients may experience minor temporary adjustments as they adapt to wearing the appliance, but it is designed to be comfortable and minimally intrusive.
Before your appointment, maintain regular oral hygiene. After receiving your appliance, clean it with toothpaste and warm water whenever you brush your teeth to ensure proper maintenance and prolong its lifespan.
During your visit, we will evaluate your bite, take necessary impressions or scans, and custom-fit the appliance. We will also provide detailed instructions on how to wear and care for your Kois Deprogrammer in Phoenix, AZ, to ensure optimal results.
