cleaning. Once the mask is fully cured, hold onto the
BiteLok with one hand. With your other hand, press on the
outside of the mask at the corner of the BiteLok and push
the BiteLok in on one side. This will allow the BiteLok to
release from the mask. *Take care not to hold it by the
putty or tongue depressor/diverter.
Cleaning the BiteLok:
17. Once removed from the mask, the BiteLok can be rinsed
with water and cleaned with an antiseptic product such as
mouthwash. Once clean, press the BiteLok back into the
mask.

instructions, placing the mask over the BiteLok.

options for using the QuickFit tool.
a. Option 1 - While the mask is still warm, pinch the
two QuickFit tool handles together, place the
QuickFit tool over the BiteLok and release. Allow
mask to fully cool.
with stronger thermoplastic masks, take extra care when
removing the mask. You may not be able to remove the
BiteLok from the mask
b. Option 2 – While the mask is still warm, pinch the
two handles together and align the QuickFit tool
with the lower part of the BiteLok mouthpiece,
toward the chin. You will only lock in the bottom
half of the Bitelok. This
will still allow you to re-
index the BiteLok to
the mask, while still
being able to remove it
for cleaning.
