    Abstract: An intraoral orthosis device that has a bite tray nested in an outer tray. The bite tray has a higher deformation temperature than the outer tray at an elevated temperature. The thickness of the outer tray's base varies to create a vertex and angle that is similar to the temporomandibular joint. The intraoral orthosis device has two bite trays, a maxillary bite tray and a mandibular bite tray. The bite trays are connected by arms, releasable fasteners, or a combination of the two. Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention is to provide a method to manufacture an intraoral orthosis device without the need of utilizing the skills of a technician or dentist.

  • Publication number: 20170007442
    Abstract: An intraoral orthosis device that has a maxillary and mandibular bite tray connect by a telescoping arm or releasable fasteners. The configuration of the telescoping arm makes it very easy for a user to adjust the length of the telescoping arm. Another object of the invention is the use of an anchor that attaches the telescoping arm to the maxillary or mandibular bite. Yet another object of the invention is a spacer that allows the user to easily adjust the positions of the telescoping arms. Accordingly another aspect of the present invention is to provide a method to manufacture an intraoral orthosis device. The method utilizes an analyzer, an articulator, and a sander. The new method ensures that the shape and angles of the intraoral orthosis device meet the specification while reducing the amount to time to manufacture the device.
