Dynamic mandibular and lingual repositioning devices, controller station, and methods of treating and/or diagnosing medical disorders

Abstract

Mandibular repositioning devices have a maxillary piece and a mandibular piece each of which is configured to cover a user's teeth. The maxillary piece has a right back teeth portion and/or a left back teeth portion and a driver flange protruding laterally outward from either or both thereof. Each driver flange has a driving side with a convex surface. The mandibular piece has a protrusive flange extending cranially therefrom and positioned with an engaging side thereof engaged against the driving side of the driver flange. The engaging side of the protrusive flange has a concave surface which mates with the convex surface of the driver flange when the mouth is closed and is in continuous contact thereagainst as a user moves their jaw downward, thereby providing gradual arcuate incremental forward mandibular movement as the concave surface of the protrusive flange smoothly glides against the convex surface of the driver flange.
