ABSTRACT:
A jaw joint protective device is provided for protecting teeth, lips, jaw, and other delicate structures of the vital cranial triad (VCT) from injury and/or for supporting the condyle of the temporomamdibular joint (TMJ) in a relatively fixed (stable) position thereby stabilizing the jaw and the VCT during head contact activity and or permit the components of a VCT disorder to be realigned for proper healing. This device is an over-the counter purchased, boil and bite jaw-joint protector providing maxillary and mandibular teeth seats for protection of the mouth and/or healing of the VCT. This invention provides for customized over-the counter availability that adds speech and airway capabilities to the device to facilitate sports participation.
