Your patients can rest and sleep assured, Artisan offers the EMA Custom appliance and the SomnoDent MAS. Both will relieve pressure, allowing patients to breathe easier and are quite comfortable to wear.
EMA Custom Appliance
The EMA Custom appliance has a series of elastic straps of varying lengths and strengths that hold the patient's jaw forward to open the airway. The EMA's flexibility allows for movement and TMJ comfort.
Adjustable Herbst® Appliance
The adjustable Herbst® is a two piece construction held together by two adjustment mechanisms on the buccal or outer area of the upper and lower appliance. The adjustment mechanisms are designed for the doctor to incrementally advance the mandible to the desired position. This appliance is desirable for the patient that wants a minimal amount of acrylic to preserve as much tongue space as possible and would like the adjustment capability.
George Gauge
Appliance therapy for obstructive apnea relies on mandibular advancement to protect the patients' airway during sleep. The George Gauge was developed to provide a means to position the mandible and record jaw relationships. Watch video. Click pause to slow down video.
