The anterior jig — a simple diagnostic for bite & jaw issues.
A small custom appliance worn briefly to relax the jaw muscles and unmask the true position of your bite.
An anterior jig (sometimes called a Lucia jig or deprogrammer) is a small clear appliance that gently separates the back teeth and allows the powerful jaw-closing muscles to relax.
Once the muscles are deprogrammed, we can accurately assess your bite, plan complex restorative cases, and confirm whether your symptoms are bite-related.
