The dental-orthopedic teaching model
Ingenious – Practical – Illuminating
Each patient deserves a thorough explanation concerning the nature of the disorder prior to treatment. This unique dental-orthopedic instruction model enables a clear and simplified explanation and instruction to Craniomandibular Dysfunction (CMD) patients.
Design
This high-quality teaching model provides clear insight into the functioning of the temporomandibular joint, the masticatory, hyoid and cervical muscles, and the cervical spine. With its movable dental arches and detailed, recognisable anatomy, the model is ideal for patient education as well as for professional training.
Therefore, patients suffering from restricted and painful jaw function, headaches, facial pain, neck problems, or unexplained earache can have their condition explained in a simple, visual way.
The Biomecmodels jaw model is a high quality perspex teaching device with great technical functions. This beautifully designed model displays a full size cranium, mandible with a detailed TMJ, and cervical column mounted on a black perspex background.
Both cranium and mandible have movable dental arches capable of displaying various malocclusions. Normal and abnormal head positions can be easily shown by loosening the bolt at the back of the model. A forward head posture will demonstrate abnormal craniomandibular and craniocervical relationships with abnormal loading consequences.
The model is used internationally by dentists-specialists, orofacial physiotherapists, ENT specialists, professional associations, and educational institutions.
