Herbst Oral Appliance

This type of MRA is made of hard plastic / thermoplastic material. The site of adjustment hardware is located on the cheek side of the molar teeth. This type of OA does allow for some lateral movement. This appliance can be fabricated out of material that has no methylmethacrylate and is thus safe for patients who are allergic to this material.

SomnoDent Oral Appliance

The SomnoDent features medical grade stainless steel screws on the side of the appliance to provide incremental levels of jaw advancement. This optimizes the effectiveness and comfort-level of treatment, as the jaw is moved only as far as is required to alleviate snoring and OSA.

Suad Oral Appliance

The SUAD appliance is similar to the Herbst, but has an internal metal framework which prevents fracture of the acrylic. It is well suited for those that grind often at night or who have other devices that have broken.
