Provides 1 mm increment adjustments, three vertical sizes, and predicted 70% advancement. E0486 code verified by Medicare, The myTAP advances and stabilizes the TAP stabilizes the lower jaw in the mandible preventing the soft the appropriate protrusive position, tissues of the throat and tongue preventing airway collapse and from collapsing into the airway. It’s tongue blockage while keeping based on the original TAP, which is the jaw closed during sleep. The well validated in 30+ independent TAP has a full range of adjustment peer review studies. beyond maximum protrusion on into maximum passive protrusion. Advances the mandible in precisely marked 1 mm increments. Advances the mandible by gently holding it in a protrusive position. Patient has complete vertical and lateral freedom of movement and is not “locked” into the appliance. Fitting Description Fitted by patient with assistance of a trained healthcare professional within 15 minutes. First, the lower tray is fitted using predetermined amounts of retention material, followed by fitting of upper tray. myTAP is in a category of its own—“Precision Fit”—that allows for accurate molding capabilities, which eliminates the need for a bite registration and lab fabrication. It’s an immediate treatment solution. When heated, the trays can be widened or narrowed to fit any arch size. It also features thin trays that create a comfortable low profile snoring appliance. The TAP is fabricated in a licensed dental laboratory and fitted by a clinican. The upper and lower trays are adjusted for retention and fit. Initial protrusion is set during the fitting process and can be easily modified. Posterior stops may be added for comfort if necessary. Fitting takes less than 10 minutes. Submerge in boiled water for 90 seconds. Dip into cup of tap water for 3 seconds to cool off. Place in patient’s mouth to custom-mold for 30 seconds. Custom fit in the doctor’s office in less than 40 minutes. Three different arch sizes are available and 5 precise adjustment settings available. A heat-and-fit design customized for each individual patient; minimal trimming needed for patient comfort.

Simple patent-pending adjustment mechanism is unaided by external accessories (screws, bands, etc). Provides marked 1 mm adjustment and locking capability with a 10 mm range. Easily adjusted by separating two halves of the appliance and following the number guide along the side to the appropriate protrusion setting. Appliance snaps into place with desired setting via a locking mechanism. Hardware material is surgical grade stainless steel. The trays have two hard layers of a durable polymer and the inner lining is one of two types designated by the clinician. Triple Laminate is the most popular, using DuraSoft, which enables retention by comfortably gripping the teeth. ThermAcryl is the other option, which softens when heated to allow “snapping” and reshaping for patients who have dental work. Soft thermal plastic and hard acrylic.

Nasal Dilators improve breathing through the nose. The aveoTSD works by gently suctioning onto the tip of the tongue, preventing it from falling back into the throat and obstructing the airway. Silent Nite sl works by positioning the lower jaw forward using special S-shaped connectors that are attached to upper and lower trays, which increases the volumetric capacity of the airway. The upper Biocryl Splint is placed first. The lower Variflex Splint is seated on the lower teeth and the lips are pulled over the Labial Shield and Nasal Dilators. Push the tongue gently into the aveoTSD until it touches the sides of the device. Squeeze the bulb to draw the tongue into the device until it is firmly attached. It is custom thermoformed in the laboratory from the patient’s models. A bite registration taken with the Slide-Link protrusion gauge is used to determine protrusive position and align the device. The anterior shield is on a sliding/locking system, with mm guides. Pushing on shield increases protrusion. The Nasal and Tongue Buttons are adjusted with pliers and/or finger pressure. The device requires no adjustment. Small, medium, and large sizes are available. For patients with longer than average tongues, 4 mm/7 mm Uni-Spacers can be clipped onto the device for extra titration. Slide-Link connectors attach to the upper and lower trays. These connectors come in five lengths (21-25 mm) and are easily interchangeable by the patient if the lower jaw needs repositioning. Upper 1.5 mm Biocryl retainer/splint; lower Variflex thermoplastic splint, with Biocryl ice shield, onlays, and buttons; stainless steel wire with welded corners for sliding bars; Duraloy wire for nasal dilators and tongue buttons; stainless steel locks.

The Moses incorporates all three necessary attributes of a successful therapy: tongue management, mandibular advancement, and patient compliance. Comfortable, secure fit. Maintains shape and one size fits most. The Moses is custom fabricated in laboratory with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485 certifications.

EMA uses interchangeable elastic straps and posterior bite pads attached to thermoformed custom trays to allow gradual advancement of the mandible and increased vertical opening until treatment is successful. Narval CC is the first and only computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) appliance on the market; patented articulation along the occlusal plane maintains lower jaw in a forward position promoting physiological breathing during sleep. Uses precision-milled upper and lower occlusal appliances to open the vertical relationship, with buccal “dorsal” fins to hold the mandible forward and allows for the desirable degree of lateral movement. Suitable for all dentitions. Lower single-arch appliance with proprioceptive tongue control with no mandibular advancement This appliance advances the mandible in .5 mm increments and opens the vertical in 3 mm increments. The lower jaw has freedom of movement along the arc of opening/closing. Fitting Description Fit the upper and lower appliances without the elastic straps to check for comfort and to make sure there is no gingival impingement. Check the posterior bite pads for even occlusion. Narval CC uses CAD technology to suit the complex dental anatomy of individual patients; does not load incisors and the innate lateral flexibility eliminates “locked-in” sensation, patients can easily talk and drink. It is only necessary to verify that the upper and lower appliances seat fully and the vertical and AP position is correct. Patient should wear the appliance for several days, after which time mandible advancement is performed via Adjustment Key if necessary (expansion screws on upper portion of the appliance). Chair side fitting similar to fitting a bruxism splint. If patient is comfortable with appliance, schedule recall in 1 week. If patient experiences a gag reflex and/or swallowing inhibition, “tail” will have to be modified. If problem persists, trans-lingual bar must be “arched up.” Appliance does not require special fitting at delivery visit. It is only necessary to verify that the upper and lower members seat fully. Adjustment Description The EMA appliance uses four different strengths of elastic straps in nine different lengths to gradually titrate the mandible. The shorter or stronger the strap, the further the mandible is advanced. Narval CC is easy to titrate and highly adjustable with connecting rods that allow for 15 mm of protrusive range at 1 mm increments. The dentist/ patient can simply select a shorter connecting rod until optimal advancement is achieved. The appliance has two jack screws built in—one on each side. They must both be adjusted together for anterior movement. Each turn of the expansion screw from bar to bar advances the mandible approximately onequarter millimeter (.25 mm). Appliance may be modified with adding acrylic to the “tail” A series of “inserts” slide into the upper appliance to increase the amount of mandibular protrusion (up to 9 mm) in .5 mm increments. Vertical adjustment can also be achieved with a vertical “insert.” Materials The EMA appliance is completely metal free. The custom trays are made from a proprietary thermoplastic and the straps from a latex-free polymer. Narval CC is made of a highly resilient and durable biocompatible polymer material and then manufactured through selective laser sintering to allow the device to be strong yet supple as well as flexible yet highly resilient. Narval is metal-free, flexible, and lightweight.
