Abstract
Oral appliances (OAs) are widely used for treating various types of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs); however, many controversies persist about how they should be designed, how they should be used, and even what their ultimate purpose might be. This article discusses 6 of the current controversies, with a focus on the evidence available to support reasonable practice guidelines for the clinical use of OAs in treating certain TMDs.Entities:
