First of all , wat appliance ur dentist have given u , it depends on that , wether it is post bite plane , ant bite plane , helix . B specific and one should know abt it .
Apart from, if its po.sterior bite plane then it will increase the vertical height and will prevent clenching of teeth. If its ant bite plane it will promote eruption of posterior teeth and will treat ur ant deep bite . So plz specify wat tmj disorder ??which appliance .
And u hv to wear it in night and for a long time along with exercises.
