Your dentist had an OPTISLEEP therapeutic appliance ordered for you individually. This means that you are already holding the solution in your hands.
- Page 4 THE OPTISLEEP TREATMENT The OPTISLEEP therapeutic appliance works in accordance with the mandibular-pro- trusion principle: The therapeutic appliance is worn in the mouth while sleeping and holds the lower jaw in a slightly pulled-forward treatment position. This results in a widening of the respiratory tract and at the same time activates the muscles of the tongue and soft tissue providing additional stability to the airway.
- Page 5 THE OPTISLEEP THERAPEUTIC APPLIANCE The therapeutic appliance was individually created for you and consists of a splint for the upper jaw, ■ a splint for the lower jaw, ■ which are connected by interchangeable connector pairs. These are available in differ- ent lengths so that your dentist can adjust the position of the lower jaw to the best pos- sible position during the course of treatment.
- Page 6 USING THE OPTISLEEP THERAPEUTIC APPLIANCE Fitting of the therapeutic appliance Perform the first fitting of the therapeutic appliance in the presence of your dentist. Inserting the therapeutic appliance Before using the therapeutic appliance, ensure that the connectors have been correctly fitted.
- Page 7 Removing the therapeutic appliance It should be possible to remove the therapeutic appliance from your teeth by exerting a slight amount of force. Place your thumbs on the lower splint in the area of the molars on both sides and lever these upward with equal slight pressure.
- Page 8 Adjusting the treatment position The OPTISLEEP therapeutic appliance can be set to one of a total of 10 different treat- ment positions using connectors of various lengths. Your dentist has provided you with a therapeutic appliance which has already been set to the correct treatment position.
- Page 9 Securing the connector The connector is connected with the upper and lower jaw splint via holding pins. In order to secure a connector in place, this needs to snap into the holding pin of the splint. To do this, apply slight pressure and guide the long hole of the connector per- pendicularly to the splint via the holding pin.
