TMJ Appliances

The appliances in this section are basically alternatives to the more conventional, lab-fabricated nightguard, which has many aliases such as splint, repositioner, and so forth. Some of them are used to treat specific signs and symptoms such as clicking, limited opening, and, of course pain in general and headache specifically, while others are primarily a stopgap to prevent patients from destroying their dentitions by bruxing and clenching.
