Abstract
An oral appliance and kit therefor is disclosed. The oral appliance may include generally U-shaped upper and lower body members and a pair of adjustment plates or spacers for removably connecting the upper body member with the lower body member. The generally U-shaped upper and lower body members are adapted to be positioned over at least a portion of first and second arches of teeth, respectively, with the spacers having a system of pins or pegs for adjustably repositioning the upper body member with respect to the lower body member. The upper and lower body members are further configured to provide a lingual-less open space between the upper and lower body members to accommodate a tongue in a relaxed state. The disclosed oral appliance, system and kit therefor is configured for use in correcting the misalignment of a user's jaw.
