An orthopaedic modular assembly comprises a housing component (10) of rigid material providing a first passage (18), a second component (30) in the form of a lingual pad support having a first arm (28) adapted to form a snug sliding fit within the first housing passage (18) and a second arm (26) extending at an angle to the first arm (28) and adapted to conform to the line of one side of a patient's mouth and latch means (38, 40) associated with the housing component (10), whereby the first arm (28) of the second component (30) is held within the first passage (18) of the housing component (10) by the latch means (38, 40) and is slidably adjustable relative to the housing component (10) to any one of a plurality of predetermined latched positions. The sliding lingual pad component (30) is locked simply and securely in the housing component (10) and is able to be moved forward in precise increments relative to the housing (10) as treatment progresses.
