Clinical Techniques for Prescribing Comfort Bite Splints

 

 

Bruxguard Occlusal Splints

Extremely Hard - Yet Slightly Flexible

The Bruxguard material is a clear thermoplastic-acrylic hybrid that feels just like a conventional hard processed acrylic, but without the usual uncomfortable feel associated with the hard appliances. Just prior to delivery, place the splint into a bowl of hot tap water for a few minutes. Remove and seat. The material "softens" just enough to allow for easy insertion and a comfortable fit, yet doesn't get soft enough to distort against the opposing occlusion.

Anti-Snoring Appliances

The Snoreguard

The SNOREGUARD is a dental appliance, similar to an orthodontic device or an athletic mouthguard. It is worn during sleep and positions the mandible in such a way as to prevent the soft tissues from collapsing and thereby constricting the airway. The SNOREGUARD is custom made to fit each individual patient and their unique condition.

The major function of this appliance (as with all other snoring devices) is to hold the mandible in a forward and slightly open position. This jaw relation holds the soft tissues forward and away from the throat, thereby reducing or eliminating the snoring habit. Studies have shown that in 98% of the population, the mandible can be extended 5-8mm with no detrimental effects on the joint or musculature. This is normally sufficient advancement to alleviate the snoring habit.

 

 

Myerson EMA Oral Appliance

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) now recommends oral appliances like the Myerson EMA Appliance as a front line of treatment for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea, and in cases where CPAP has not been tolerated. The FDA has approved the myerson ema appliance for the treatment of both obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.
