Homeoblock™ Appliance
Worn only at night, Homeoblock™ is a removable orthopedic/orthodontic dental appliance which provides palatal expansion and jaw development for the maxilla and the mandible in so-called “non-growing” adult patients. Ideal for patients who want to improve their appearance and get a better night’s sleep via improved breathing, it’s intended purpose is to “evoke dentofacial development that is genetically encoded for each individual” – naturally, through orthodontics.
Simply designed and easy to use for both doctor and patient, the Homeoblock™ works in a retainer-like fashion. Worn over an extended period of time (sometimes as little as several months) it theoretically acts as a signaling device -- using signal transduction to communicate directly to cell genomes within the cell nucleus which controls the construction and operation of the human body.
Activated by swallowing, the signal mechanism exerts intermittent light force on the teeth, eliciting a bone cell response that changes the shape of craniofacial bones over time. Tension and intermittent light force persuade the bones to redefine themselves, resulting in enhanced facial symmetry, regardless of age.
