All 3 are made by 3d scanning the teeth directly or the teeth impressions themselves. I used narval, but now I use a custom one which also is printed in polyamide 12.
Hi Crowtor,
thank you for your reply. Are you mild/moderate apnea?
how do you get the custom one made and how do you feel about the usage, can it replace cpap? Also how much the cost estimate is?
thanks again.
Sometimes I'm AHI 9, sometimes AHI 100+. My current one is made like narval cc, same process and it's based on my narval, with some tweaks. I had my teeth scanned and then I modeled it in CAD, adding a few things like a removable tongue retaining bubble, mouth breathing canals combined with a tongue strap at the back.
I wear it with my full face mask though.
If you want to get rid of your cpap, the only thing that's cpable of that is an Inspire2 implant, that is if your apnea is the type of apnea it is intended for and you have no other mechanical issues in your breathing. If you're fully CA, then a diaphragm pacemaker could be an option. Otherwise sit tight and do your vows, cpap is staying.
" I had my teeth scanned and then I modeled it in CAD", could you please let me know how to get hold /what way i can start look into this scanning and custom made process, i just looked up online Naval is discontinue the market in US.
just found out this one, but i can't find a provider in my area (in US). have you heard about it?
