Dental sleep medicine
We have been making sleep appliances longer than almost any lab in the country, and it shows in the fit. Every appliance is built by hand to the bite you send, in the design and material you choose, and checked before it leaves. Your patients get an appliance they will actually wear. You get a lab that answers the phone.
The workhorse. Strong, adjustable and comfortable, with the longest track record of any sleep appliance.
Two separate pieces, so patients can talk, drink and open their mouth while wearing it.

Small elastic straps hold the jaw forward and let it move naturally from side to side.

Scans or impressions, and a bite at the position you choose.

You deliver, titrate and keep the patient in follow-up with the physician.
Which appliance
A few common starting points. For anything else, call the sleep lab and we will help you choose before you take the bite.
Both. Send upper and lower scans or impressions with a bite registration. Every sleep case is built from either.
A bite registration taken at the forward position and opening you want the appliance built to. If you are unsure where to take it, call the sleep lab before you take the bite.
Yes. Acrylic appliances come in hard acrylic, or hard with a soft liner, and you can add anterior hooks for elastics. Printed appliances are made in medical-grade nylon.
It depends on the design. TAP appliances have an adjustment the patient can make, and most other designs are adjusted by the dentist. Tell us on the prescription how you plan to titrate.
No. Diagnosis stays with the patient's physician, and you prescribe and manage the appliance. We build it to your prescription and support your office.
Send us the scans or impressions and a bite in the position you want, tell us the design and material, and the appliance comes back ready to seat. If anything on the prescription is unclear, we call you before we start.
