Currently Rena is working with a master technician Mr Brian Mearns who has worked with pioneers of occlusion such as Charles Stuart and Peter K Thomas.
At LXIR Rena’s main role is to take mounted reference models and, then, to analyse these precisely, with a view to designing, fitting and adjusting therapeutic occlusal splints. The aim is to stabilise the temporomandibular joint and the surrounding neuromusclulature prior to any complex treatments. After this, she gets involved in constructing an occlusal scheme that works in harmony with the stabilised TMJ, which guides the rehabilitation of a patients occlusion.
