A method of custom fitting a bite regulator includes providing a self-impression kit with one or more bite registration tools, a bite regulator with an impression material on surfaces of the bite regulator, and instructions. The instructions one to a) determine a natural bite position of a subject utilizing the bite registration tool； b) apply heat to the bite regulator to soften the impression material； c) position the bite regulator over the upper or lower teeth of the subject； d) insert the bite registration tool in the subject's mouth； and e) form an impression of a portion of the subject's teeth in the softened impression material while the bite registration tool assists the subject in maintaining the previously determined natural bite position.
