ABSTRACT:
An orthotic device for reducing dental clenching is provided along with a method for custom fitting said device. The orthotic device includes a tray for receiving the user's upper teeth, a guide ramp for position the user's lower jaw, and a plurality of spacers for providing a gap between the tray and the user's lower posterior teeth during fitting of the orthotic device. When worn by the user, the orthotic device positions the user's upper and lower anterior teeth in substantial vertical alignment thereby preventing contact between a user's upper and lower posterior teeth.
