The POD® (Preventive Oral Device) is a patent pending, custom made mandibular splint designed to aid in treating bruxism and TMJ Dysfunction. Worn during sleep, the device serves to protect the teeth and restorations from the destructive forces of bruxism and will help to alleviate TMJ/TMD, headaches, and facial muscle pain.

The unique design increases anterior tongue space while limiting the amount of occlusal contact points with the maxillary arch. This Unilateral BiteBlock Technology® limits occlusal contacts allowing for a reduction of trigeminally innervated muscular activity.  In addition, the device design helps to decompress the TMJ Capsule. These features can help to reduce muscle tension and help alleviate TMJ related jaw, ear, neck, and facial pain, along with different types of headaches.

Simple to deliver while requiring very few follow-up adjustments, The POD® (Preventive Oral Device) is very comfortable for the patient which increases the likelihood of successful outcomes.  The Flat Plane Splint has been used since 1901. It’s time to advance.

Indications for Use: The POD® (Preventive Oral Device) is for the amelioration of clenching and bruxing associated with TMD and is to be used to aid in the relief of symptoms of TMD/TMJ.
