Gelb (Mora and May)

MORA Appliance The Mandibular Orthopedic Repositioning Appliance (as described by Dr. Gelb) has been designed to reposition the mandible with its condyle (achieves optimal neuro-muscular balance as well as balanced condyle-fossae relationships). The appliance consists of clear acrylic bite pads covering the molars and bicuspids connected by a heavy, oval lingual bar.

 

 

MAY T.M.J. Splint Similar in concept to the MORA Splint, the MAY T.M.J. Splint utilizes a lingual acrylic reinforced with twisted brass strengthening wire to support the occlusal pads. Proponents have been successfully treating a variety of symptoms throughout the body by using these splints to relieve dental stress. However, advanced study of the technique seems to be a prerequisite to optimum results with this appliance.
