- Initial OA setting too far advanced
- Promote alertness
- Uneven contact of posterior pads
- Hormone release (ADH, GH,
- Too much advancement at one
Oxytocin, Prolactin)
time (lower increment necessary)
- Clear metabolites from brain
- Increased heart disease
- Maximum opening 26 mm
- Increased BP
- Deflection TO affected side
- Increased risk for heart
- No clicking
