The 3D Printed Nylon Anti-snoring Appliance, dorsal design, is the most popular style of custom made appliance worldwide. It is the only appliance where the upper and lower components are not connected, allowing maximum comfort with minimal side effects.
The 3D Printed Nylon Anti-snoring Appliance is the thinnest, most comfortable available, yet unbreakable in the mouth. Acrylic resin, including milled and hard/soft versions are becoming obsolete due to its bulkiness, brittleness and tendency to fracture. It is imperative that an appliance worn during sleep does not fracture. Nylon is now regarded as the optimal material.
“3D printing using nylon represents the biggest breakthrough I have seen in the field of dental sleep medicine. While the appliances are extremely thin, we have not had a single fracture in two years of use in our clinic.”
