Abstract

Neuromuscular aligners are devices that can be used during the second stage of treatment for TMJ pathologies once the articular and neuromuscular system have been stabilized.

This approach involves orthodontic treatment through the strength and resistance of aligners maintaining neuromuscular position as a mandibular reference with the objective of preserving joint spaces, achieving muscular physiology, and establishing a balanced occlusion with the tonic postural system, which will result in a permanent change.

This can be accomplished through the cementation of NM Table Tops or by using modern Neuroaligners which already have neuromuscular tops integrated into their structure.
