FAQ

What are Fabrication Process Of  Anti-Snoring Device?

1.Fabrication Process

Assessment and Diagnosis

Examination: Conduct oral examinations and sleep monitoring (e.g., PSG) to confirm snoring type and severity.

Objective: Determine the need for mandibular advancement and the optimal advancement range (typically 2–8 mm).

Impression Taking or Scanning

Traditional Impression: Use silicone rubber to take impressions of the upper and lower dental arches and pour plaster models.

Digital Scanning: Acquire 3D dental data using an intraoral scanner (more precise).

2.Device Design

Personalized Design: Adjust mandibular positioning based on airway obstruction sites to avoid TMJ (temporomandibular joint) strain.

Software Modeling: Simulate device morphology using CAD software to ensure proper fit.

Material Selection and FabricationCommon Materials:

Thermoplastic Resin: Lightweight and adjustable, suitable for mild OSA.

Hard Acrylic Resin: Durable, suitable for severe OSA.

3.Fabrication Methods:

3D Printing: Directly fabricate the device with high precision.

Thermoforming: Heat and mold the material over the plaster model.

4.Fitting and Adjustment

Initial Check: Ensure no gum irritation or bite imbalance.

Dynamic Adjustment: Fine-tune mandibular advancement and redesign if necessary.

5.Delivery and Follow-Up

Cleaning Guidance: Instruct patients to clean with a toothbrush or denture cleaner.

Regular Review: Check for discomfort after 1 week and evaluate efficacy after 3 months.
