摘要
A dental orthotic comprises a mandibular orthotic conforming to a user's mandibular dentition and including oral contours adapted for adjusting the user's tongue/tooth/mouth interaction, and may include extensions for positioning the user's tongue. The contours are designed and applied to specific locations on the orthotic and extensions of the orthotic to promote a desired tongue response for specific physiological symptoms. The contours change the shape of the mandibular orthotic as well as the dental shapes within the mouth, resulting in repositioning and/or reshaping of the tongue and tissue of the throat, thereby improving the oral functions as well as relieving neuromuscular responses and autonomic nervous system dysfunctions. The dental orthotic may include a maxillary orthotic that is fixed with respect to the mandibular orthotic.
