MULTIFUNCTIONAL
SKULL-OCCLUDED-POSTURAL HARMONIZER

• HARMONIZER: harmonically reshapes the dento-cranial-facial structures
• MULTIFUNCTIONAL: indicated for various dysfunctional problems of the patient
• CRANIAL-OCCLUSION-POSTURAL: acts on the relationship between skull, maxillary and mandibular, as well as between occlusal function and postural pattern, through the action on the first cervical vertebrae.

AMCOP Bio Activators have a buccal and a lingual flange that leave a free central area in which the teeth are positioned without any kind of constriction. These double flanges are linked together by an occlusal guide which has the purpose of keeping the two arches in normo-occlusion.
AMCOP Bio Activators have no indentations. In this way, both dental arches are simultaneously involved with a multidimensional orthopedic action of repositioning them; this stabilization in a multidimensional sense, accompanied by the correction of the oro-pharyngeal neurovegetative functions (such as the correct posture of the tongue at rest, the correct swallowing and nasal breathing in oral respirators), allows to make the correction more stable over time an, therefore, allows a more complete therapy and not susceptible to relapse.

AMCOP Bio Activators are extremely valid aids that have some advantages over others. The devices can be considered real arch harmonizers and, through the plastic effect, allow a true expansive and growth stimulation of the maxillary and mandibular skeletal bases and, at the same time, orient the exchange of the teeth in a correct relationship with the bone bases in a suitable occlusal balance.
The devices are able to provide a specific occlusal release and consequent joint rebalancing (TMJ), as well as a correct functioning of the neuro-muscular system and, therefore, of the orofacial musculature.

T.N.S. EURO SENSORY TRANSMITTER

Neurologically, the teeth function as detection sensors for activating a program, chewing. Under each single tooth there are receptors that send information to the brain for correct chewing. Recent research on neuro plasticity has shown that rehabilitating the occlusion would improve the patient's mental state. Whatever the structure involved (the TMJ, the occlusion or the muscles of the jaw) there is an action on the whole. There is a peripheral interdependence and a relationship with the central nervous system.
Stronger the physiological stimulus at the peripheral level is, greater the effects on the central nervous system are.
The Amcop Bio Activator (through the plastic effect of the materials used) carries out a neuro-sensorial stimulation action.
The therapeutic effect involves the subcortical nerve structures and the neocortex.
The AMCOP Bio Activators, therefore, act at a specifically cortical level by means of a deep tissue massage provided by the thermoelastic materials.

AMCOP BIO ACTIVATORS DESCRIPTION

AMCOP Elastic Bio Activators are characterized by a complete range of arch harmonizing devices.
The devices are distinguished by different colors, including the cases that contain them, and the devices are marked with different letters and numbers.
The devices are available in a complete kit of four types of different first class arch shapes in relation to the type of cranial conformation, for an orthopedic functional action. There are also devices for second and third classes and devices for very young children when they have arches with deciduous teeth (milk teeth), when there are deviations of the dental arches associated with craniofacial discrepancies and also pacifier-like devices for early and interceptive treatment, considering that dental movement in young children is simple, because the periodontal fibers are still immature.
All devices have been designed and manufactured for an expansive effect of the dental arches. They are therefore suitable for mouths with only deciduous teeth, for mouths with mixed dentition and for adults with complete dentition of permanent teeth.
The activator has limitations regarding the rotation of the canines, premolars and molars, transverse wisdom teeth, mesialized teeth, severe skeletal dysmorphosis and in a condition of generalized mobility of the teeth in an advanced stage.


The range comes in two versions called AMCOP INTEGRAL Bio-Activator and AMCOP BASIC Bio-Activator.

The AMCOP INTEGRAL Bio-Activator is a more specifically orthopedic device, stabilizer of the mouth balance, complete with all the necessary elements for a correct function of the whole Dento-Cranio-Facial system. Also suitable for muscle-tension problems, swallowing, breathing, snoring and bruxism.

The AMCOP BASIC Bio-Activator is an arch harmonizing device more specifically indicated for deep bites (deep-byte).

S.B. SOULET-BESOMBES

In the 1950s, prof. Soulet and Besombes of the French school of functionalist orthopedics created a new orthodontic device, with elastic characteristics and rubber material called SB. The activator was used as a true functional-orthopedic device in the cranial-mandibular relationship and as a growth stimulator for a correct chewing function. Prof Besombes defined this therapy as interception orthopedics (mastic-reflex therapy). The goal was to position the mandible correctly through the action of the upper jaw, so as to act on the tensions of the sutures and cranial structures, renormalizing the position of the different bones of the entire craniofacial system, with the consequent tooth positioning, determined by this new bone balance.

POSTURAL FAILURE

The AMCOP BIO activator is a harmonizing device of the simultaneous distortions of the maxillary and mandibular skeletal bases and suitable for leveling the inclined, rotated and twisted occlusal planes for a correct function and a good balance of the mouth.
