The
TMJ Appliance¨ is a prefabricated soft dental splint that is specifically
designed to assist in the initial treatment symptoms of Temporo-mandibular
Joint (TMJ) disorder.
The unique design
allows immediate treatment with minimal time, as no impressions,
no fitting and no adjustments are needed. (except possible trimming of
the distal ends).

resting length is changed when in place. This causes an immediate decrease
in tension of the craniomandibular muscles.
