ZQuiet Pro-Plus Instructions For Use And Care

Product Description
The ZQuiet® Pro-Plus consists of separate upper and lower
components custom made for each individual patient. The appliance
incorporates small fins on each side of the appliance that maintains
the lower jaw slightly forward and this opens the airway to permit
unobstructed breathing. These fins also enable independent
movement of the jaw so the patient can open and close their mouth
while wearing the appliance. To maximize performance and patient
comfort, the device contains embedded screws that allow for
micro adjustments at the time of delivery and thereafter on an
as-needed basis.
Indications for Use
The ZQuiet® Pro-Plus oral appliance is intended to reduce
or alleviate nighttime snoring and/or mild to moderate
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adult patients 18 years of
age or older.
Package Contains:
• ZQuiet® Pro-Plus Appliance
• Protective Storage Case
• Adjustment Screw Key
Patient Instructions for Use and Care
Instructions
1. Make sure the device is clean and inspect it prior to each
use for damage. Do not use if any parts are cracked, chipped
or missing.
2. Clean your teeth properly before inserting your appliance
to prevent tooth decay and periodontal problems.
3. If your appliance has the soft lining (absence of metal ball
clasps that contact the teeth) hold the appliance under warm
water for 30-45 seconds to soften the acrylic lining. This aids
in placing the appliance over your teeth.
4. Insert the upper component into the mouth and over
the top teeth pressing the device firmly into place using your
thumbs to ensure it is seated securely.
5. Slide your lower jaw slightly forward and then place
lower component gently by hand onto lower teeth (do
not bite into place). Press down on both sides to ensure
appliance is seated securely and fits comfortably.
6. In the morning, remove your ZQuiet® Pro-Plus device
carefully beginning with the lower tray first. Using your
fingers gently pry the device up and off of the teeth. Due to
the snug custom fit, it may require working each side a little
bit at a time. Repeat with the upper tray using caution not
to stress or bend the components during removal.
7. Follow the easy cleaning instructions after each use.
8. Adjustments to the ZQuiet® Pro-Plus device should only
be made by the clinician or under the clinician's guidance
and recommendation. It takes 10 turns keyhole to keyhole in
the direction of the arrow per 1mm of advancement. Note:
each side should be adjusted by the exact number of keyhole
turns in relation to the arrow to maintain jaw alignment.
