ABSTRACT:
A process for reducing the occurrence of apneic episodes in an edentulous person including the steps of determining a neuromuscularly balanced position of the temporal mandibular joint of the edentulous person and shaping an oral appliance to maintain the neuromuscularly balanced position during sleep. The oral appliance has upper and lower plates with opposing planar rest surfaces which maintain the jaw position and angle corresponding to the neuromuscularly balanced position.
