本说明的第一部分概述了治疗磨牙症的生物反馈方式。将一种轻微厌恶的安全液体注入并密封在小型、双边套管的聚乙烯胶囊中。两个胶囊连接到一个简单的牙科器具上，将它们舒适而牢固地放置在下牙和上牙之间。在夜间或怀疑出现磨牙症的其他时间佩戴该矫治器和胶囊。每当熟睡或清醒的患者尝试磨牙时，一个或两个胶囊就会破裂，液体会释放到口腔中。然后，液体会引起患者的意识注意，并阻止任何咬紧或磨牙的尝试。该方法和装置的变型可用于诊断磨牙症。本说明的第二部分描述了这种基于味道的方法对一位慢性磨牙者的长期应用。
The first part of this note sketches a biofeedback modality for the treatment of bruxism. A mildly aversive, safe liquid is inserted into, and sealed in, small, bilaterally sleeved, polyethylene capsules. Two capsules are attached to a simple dental appliance that comfortably and securely places them between the lower and upper back teeth. The appliance and capsules are worn at night or at other times when bruxism is suspected to occur. Whenever a sleeping or an awake patient attempts to brux, one or both capsules rupture and the liquid is released into the mouth. The liquid then draws the patient's conscious attention to, and forestalls, any attempt of teeth clenching or grinding. Variations of the method and device can be used to diagnose bruxism. The second part of this note describes the long-term application of this taste-based approach to one chronic bruxer.
