This article introduces a new appliance for the orthopedic correction of craniofacial disorders. The development of a remoldable craniomandibular (RCM) appliance is the result of four years of clinical research. The remoldable craniomandibular appliance is designed as an inexpensive and time efficient method of arriving at a differential diagnosis for some patients with temporomandibular joint related headache. In addition, clinical observation indicates that it may be helpful in treatment for patients suffering from internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint. Although no specific claims for the appliance are being made at this time, research studies currently designed and implemented may be able to confirm the potential for this appliance. Independent studies are encouraged.
