| Abstract: |
An intraoral discluding device for the prevention of chronic tension and common migraine headaches and temporal-mandibular joint syndrome that are caused by chronic clenching of the posterior mandibular and maxillary teeth by the temporalis muscle. The discluder is a small intraoral device which is custom made for the individual. The device includes a small, typically acrylic, dome-shaped tab supported by a conventional palatal member which is retained by bent orthodontic wire. The device is inserted in the mouth and retained against the upper anterior teeth with the tab extending such that as the mouth is closed the tab will come into contact with the lower anterior incisal edges before the posterior teeth can touch each other. This renders the temporalis muscles ineffective, preventing high pressure clenching of the posterior teeth. While the device may be worn most of the time, including during sleep, it is not attached permanently and is always removed for eating, which prevents super eruption of the teeth.
