Abstract: Methods for forming an oral apparatus for a patient having a maxillary jaw and a mandibular jaw as provided which may be used to form or fabricate an apparatus which may be configured to adjust or direct the positional relationship between the mandible and maxilla of the patient. In some embodiments, a method for forming an oral apparatus for a patient having a maxillary jaw and a mandibular jaw may include the steps of: recording a digital scan of the maxillary jaw and the mandibular jaw; positioning the mandibular jaw relative to the maxillary jaw in a therapeutic bite pattern; recording a digital scan of the maxillary jaw and the mandibular jaw while the maxillary jaw and the mandibular jaw are in the therapeutic bite pattern; positioning first and second upper anchor members and first and second lower anchor members within the digital scan; and fabricating the oral apparatus.

Abstract: An oral apparatus for mandibular jaw manipulation which in some embodiments may include: an upper tray configured to receive a plurality of maxillary teeth and which may have a first upper anchor member coupled to a first side of the upper tray and a second upper anchor member coupled to a second side of the upper tray; a lower tray configured to receive a plurality of mandibular teeth and which may have a first lower anchor member coupled to a first side of the lower tray and a second lower anchor member coupled to a second side of the lower tray. The first upper anchor member may be configured to contact the first lower anchor member and the second upper anchor member may be configured to contact the second lower anchor member to adjust the positional relationship between the mandible and the maxilla of a mouth.

Abstract: An oral apparatus for mandibular jaw manipulation which in some embodiments may comprise: an upper tray configured to receive a plurality of maxillary teeth and a lower tray configured to receive a plurality of mandibular teeth. The upper tray may optionally have one or more upper anchor members configured as upper anchor members coupled to the upper tray. The lower tray may optionally have one or more lower anchor members configured as lower anchor members coupled to the lower tray. Each upper anchor member, which may be adjustable, may be configured to contact a lower anchor member, which may be adjustable, to adjust the positional relationship between the mandible and the maxilla of a mouth when a user wearing the oral apparatus closes their mouth to bring the upper and lower anchor members into contact with each other.
