THE POD: GENERATING NEW IDEAS.
The POD is a custom fit, laboratory fabricated intraoral mandibular splint designed to aid in treating bruxism and TMJ Dysfunction. Worn during sleep, the device serves to protect the teeth and restorations from the destructive forces of bruxism and will help to alleviate TMJ/TMD, headaches, and facial muscle pain. The unique design increases anterior tongue space while limiting the amount of occlusal contact points with the maxillary arch. Limiting occlusal contacts allows for a reduction of trigeminally innervated muscular activity and can reduce muscle tension and help alleviate associated TMJ pain symptoms and headaches. The POD is:
- Custom made for a precise fit.
- Made from high quality, biocompatible materials, with a one year warranty.
- Allows full range of mouth movement–patients can open and close their mouth, as well as talk, drink water and yawn while wearing the splint.
- Covered by some Insurance plans
