The JC Try-in™

 

The JC Try-In represents a significant advancement in bite registration and confirmation for complex full-arch cases.

This digitally designed and 3D printed orthotic appliance addresses the limitations of traditional bite blocks and bite rims, particularly in challenging clinical situations where patients present with closed bites requiring opening beyond the standard 3mm articulator limitation, or cases involving patients with few or no centric stops where vertical dimension needs to be determined and confirmed.

Unlike conventional bite registration methods, the JC Try-In seats like a flipper or partial denture, allowing patients to experience and adapt to their new vertical dimension and bite position before final treatment.

This innovative approach provides superior accuracy in establishing proper occlusion and enables precise bite confirmation, making it an invaluable tool for cases requiring significant bite opening of 10 millimeters or more, while giving both doctor and patient confidence in the planned treatment outcome.

Clinical Benefits of the JC Try-in

Enhanced Accuracy

  • More accurate bite registration than traditional bite blocks and bite rims
  • Precise vertical dimension establishment in complex cases
  • Eliminates guesswork in challenging bite confirmation scenarios

Complex Case Solutions

  • Handles bite opening beyond standard 3mm articulator limitations
  • Effectively manages patients with few or no centric stops
  • Addresses significant vertical dimension changes of 10+ millimeters

Improved Patient Experience

  • Seats like a familiar flipper or partial denture for better acceptance
  • Allows home wear for gradual adaptation to the new bite position
  • Reduces patient anxiety about dramatic bite changes

Streamlined Clinical Workflow

  • Enables chairside adjustments and equilibration to ideal occlusion
  • Supports flexible bite registration techniques (sectional or full arch)
  • Digitally designed and 3D printed for consistent results

Treatment Planning Advantages

  • Provides definitive records for accurate case mounting and planning
  • Bridges the gap between initial assessment and final prosthetic delivery
  • Reduces the need for multiple bite registration appointments

JC Try-In Operational Instructions

When JC Try-In is used

  • When a closed bite requires opening for the procedure, usually more than the 3 mm’s recommended limitation of the articulator
  • When patients present with few or no centric stops when the vertical needs to be determined and confirmed
  • When the bite confirmation is needed, as well as a scan appliances – can be for both

Records Needed

  • Master casts, PVS or digital impressions and a bite registration
  • Retracted photographs of the patient biting in centric, left, right, and straight on

How to Use

  • Seat the JC Try-In(s)
  • Adjust as needed for full seating
  • Equilibrate until the bite is perfect
  • Then capture a new bite and return the case to ROE

What exactly is a JC Try-In?

The JC Try-In is a digitally designed and 3D printed orthotic appliance that seats like a flipper or partial denture, used to confirm and establish the patient's bite position.

How is it different from traditional bite blocks?
Unlike bite blocks or bite rims, the JC Try-In provides a more accurate method for bite registration and seats more naturally in the patient's mouth like a familiar prosthetic appliance.
When should I consider using a JC Try-In?
Use the JC Try-In when a closed bite requires opening beyond the 3mm articulator limitation, when patients have few or no centric stops, or when precise bite confirmation is needed.
Can it handle significant bite-opening cases?
Yes, the JC Try-In is particularly effective for cases requiring 10+ millimeters of bite opening.
Can patients wear the JC Try-In at home?
Yes, patients can wear it home for a few hours to adapt to their new bite position, but they cannot eat or drink while wearing it.
How long should patients wear it for adaptation?
It's recommended for a couple of hours at a time to help patients become comfortable with their new vertical dimension.
What records do you need to fabricate a JC Try-In?
We need master casts, PVS or digital impressions, a bite registration, and retracted photographs of the patient biting in centric, left, right, and straight on positions.
What do I do after trying in the appliance?
Seat the JC Try-In, adjust for full seating, equilibrate until the bite is perfect, capture a new bite registration, and take full face, full smile, and retracted occlusion photos.
How is the JC Try-In designed?
It's digitally designed using software and 3D printed in resin, with the design based on your case records and desired occlusion.
Can it function as both a bite device and a scan appliance?
Yes, the JC Try-In can serve dual purposes for both bite confirmation and as a scan appliance when needed.
