The Gelb appliance is made in the lower jaw, covering only the premolar and molar teeth. It is used to correct mandibular displacement, reduce TMJ [temporomandibular joint] dysfunction and oral/facial pain, and to provide occlusal stability with the patient's natural dentition serving as the anterior guidance. 2, record 1, English, - Gelb%20splint

Bien que certains auteurs utilisent les termes «gouttière Gelb» et «plaque Gelb», «gouttière de Gelb» et «plaque de Gelb» sont mieux formés, et leur utilisation devrait être préférée. En effet, la préposition «de» indique que cet appareil a été nommé d'après l'orthodontiste qui l'a introduit. 3, record 1, French, - goutti%C3%A8re%20de%20Gelb
