Quoted per case
The pivot is placed as far posteriorly as the anatomy allows, so the mandible rotates around it and the joint space opens. It is a diagnostic and therapeutic appliance used for a defined period, not a long-term splint.
We mark the pivot position on the design and confirm it with the clinician before milling.
