The POD® is a US and internationally patented custom mouth guard that reduces bruxism and occlusal forces. It helps treat TMD without compromising the airway like the flat plane splint. The POD® utilizes a unilateral bite block to treat bruxism and TMD while making more room for the tongue, allowing the tongue to activate muscles to help tone the airway and activate the autonomic nervous system via the vagus nerve. The POD® replaces the flat plane splint by allowing more room for the tongue to move anteriorly and superiorly, creating a larger functional airway, protecting the TMJ capsule and disc from being impinged upon and compressed, and improving autonomic nervous system balance.
