Keller method of TMJ orthodontics.

Abstract

This article explains a specific orthodontic method which has been designed to treat TMJ dysfunction patients. The desired mandibular/maxillary relationship is established and maintained throughout treatment. The resultant occlusion will then support a functional condyle-disc-fossa relationship. Cases are presented which illustrate the patented method and apparatus. Both patients have remained pain and dysfunction free for three years and five years respectfully.
