Method of using an intraoral discluder to enhance migraine prevention and treatment of temporomandibular disorders

A method to enhance migraine prevention and treatment of temporomandibular disorders with use of an intraoral discluder device, the method configured to minimize detrimental use of the intraoral discluder device maxillary or mandibularly retained by a user, the user comprising an upper jaw comprising maxillary incisors, maxillary canines and maxillary molars, and a lower jaw comprising mandibular incisors, mandibular canines and mandibular molars, the method comprising:

• administering to the user the intraoral discluder device, the intraoral discluder device comprising:
• a trough comprising a first longitudinal axis, a front wall and a rear wall configured to accommodate at least one maxillary incisor or mandibular incisor of the user;
• and
• a protrusion coupled to the trough and comprising a second longitudinal axis generally perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis, the protrusion projecting anteriorly from the front wall of the trough and posteriorly from the front wall to the rear wall beneath a bottom portion of the trough;
• maneuvering the intraoral discluder device in the user to permit the front and rear walls to accommodate the at least one maxillary incisor, thereby permitting the protrusion to contact at least one mandibular incisor of the lower jaw during a bite of the user to maintain spacing between the maxillary molars and mandibular molars;
• and
• determining the spacing between the maxillary molars and mandibular molars ensuring the spacing between the maxillary molars and mandibular molars is no greater than approximately 2 millimeters.
