- Page 3 Dear SICAT OPTISLEEP user, Congratulations on your new SICAT OPTISLEEP. We hope that you can sleep well again and have a good night's rest thanks to your SICAT OPTISLEEP! From now on, daytime sleepiness and fatigue should be a thing of the past.
- Page 4 THE SICAT OPTISLEEP TREATMENT The SICAT OPTISLEEP therapeutic appliance works in accordance with the mandibular- protrusion 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 SICAT 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 SICAT 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 SICAT OPTISLEEP therapeutic appliance can be set to one of a total of 10 different treatment 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 13: Indications For Use And Contraindications
■ to reduce or alleviate mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea ■ Contraindications The SICAT OPTISLEEP therapeutic appliance may not be used in the following cases: Central sleep apnea Persons under 18 years ■ ■... - Page 14 Clinical benefit The SICAT OPTISLEEP device is intended to reduce or alleviate snoring or mild to mod- erate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This is achieved by placing the lower jaw in a for- ward position, which widens the lateral dimension of the pharynx, stabilizes hyoid bone and soft palate, stretches tongue muscles, and prevents the posterior rotation of the jaw.
- Page 15 It can happen that you recognize a slight change of occlusion after taking out the SICAT OPTISLEEP in the morning. Normally, this will go away quickly. Finding your normal bite again can be accelerated by jaw exercises, chewing gum or the like or by using a special bite trainer.
