There has been a revolution in oral appliances for sleep disorders. 3D-printed nylon, along with computer-assisted design and manufacturing, are creating appliances of unprecedented strength and comfort-the two essential features for achieving successful results. While acrylic has served the profession well in the past, it has been superseded by 3D printed nylon which has all the attributes of an ideal appliance for treating snoring, sleep apnoea and bruxism.

“3D printing using nylon represents the biggest breakthrough I have seen in the field of dental sleep medicine. It’s a new world of minimal, unobtrusive appliances. While the appliances are extremely thin, we have not had a single fracture in two years of use in our clinic.I and all my colleagues who are using 3D printed nylon believe acrylic resin will soon be obsolete for use in oral sleep appliances.” said Dr Harry Ball, one of the most experienced dental sleep medicine global practitioners.

Modern Dental offers different kind of nylon oral appliances, including anti-snoring device and splint. Contact us today to understand more.
