  • Apparatus for temporomandibular joint-related corrections of tooth position
    Patent number: 9861454
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for temporomandibular joint-related corrections of tooth position, taking into account a variant of the registration or construction of the bite predetermined by the user.
