ABSTRACT:
A temporomandibular rehabilitator having (a) a lower planar member having a longitudinal center, first and second ends, and a segment connecting the first and second ends to one another; and (b) an upper angular member having first and second ends, and first and second planar faces having an obtuse interior angle between the faces. The angular member is pivotally connected at the vertex of the obtuse interior angle to the segment of the planar member which connects the first and second ends of the planar member to one another, so that the first planar face of the angular member can be brought into parallel contact with the first end and with a first portion of the segment connecting the first and second ends of the planar member to one another, or the second planar face of the angular member can be brought into parallel contact with the second end and with a second portion of the segment connecting the first and second ends of the planar member to one another. The rehabilitator includes a mechanism for forcing the first planar face of the angular member apart from the first end and first portion of the segment connecting the first and second ends to one another, and a mechanism for controlling the extent to which the first planar face of the angular member is forced apart from the first end and first portion of the segment connecting the first and second ends of the planar member to one another.
