ABSTRACT:
A method of correcting parafunctional behavior of the mandibular complex by engaging in a vertical measurement of the mouth followed by stretching open the mouth even further at least once followed by inserting an anti-occluding device between the teeth and retaining it there for a pre-determined period of time then removing it and stretching the mouth wide open at least once. This method also may entail placing the tongue on the roof of the mouth [defined as the N-position] and keeping it there while opening and closing the mouth several times after which the mouth is opened to its maximum extent and then closed until the lips touch but the teeth do not touch. This position and the N-position are maintained for as long as possible and performed several times daily.
