PCT No. PCT/AU90/00399 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 6, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 6, 1992 PCT Filed Sep. 6, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/03215 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 21, 1991.An oral appliance for repositioning the temporomandibular joint includes a base portion having a generally U-shaped form to follow the jaw and teeth of a user and front and rear flanges which define with the base portion upper and lower channels for receiving the teeth of the upper and lower jaws. The base portion is of asymmetrical form on either side of the appliance from the leading to the trailing end thereof so as to substantially occupy uneven spacing between the upper and lower jaws of the user and cause the lower jaw to move into substantial alignment with the upper jaw.
