mouth guard for snoring

Every snoring appliance case starts with a digital or physical bite registration at the clinician's prescribed advancement position. Dani Dental does not estimate advancement; if the clinician sends a George Gauge or Leaf Gauge bite, that exact position is captured in the digital file before any fabrication begins. Cases arriving as intraoral scans are processed through a validated STL-to-CAD workflow that preserves the interarch relationship to within 0.05 mm. Cases arriving as PVS impressions are poured in high-expansion Type IV stone and scanned on a desktop scanner before any wax-up or fabrication step touches them. For titratable designs, Dani Dental fabricates EMA-style appliances using 3 mm hard acrylic upper and lower trays with calibrated elastic strap sets providing 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm advancement increments. The tray bodies are milled from pre-shaded PMMA puck stock, not heat-cured over a stone model, which eliminates the dimensional distortion common to traditional processing. For rigid monolithic designs, the single-piece MAD is milled in hard-grade acrylic with the advancement locked at the clinician's prescribed position and a bilateral bite stop incorporated to prevent clenching load on the anterior teeth. Quality verification at Dani Dental runs a three-check sequence before any appliance ships. First, the technician seating the case checks the appliance against the digital model for marginal integrity and occlusal contact accuracy. Second, the case is articulated on the poured models at the prescribed bite to confirm bilateral posterior contact. Third, the shipping checklist requires the technician to sign off on tray extension, clasp engagement if present, and elastic strap compatibility for titratable cases. Cases that fail any of the three checks are remade before shipping, not adjusted after the fact. Clinicians new to prescribing MADs through Dani Dental receive a one-page prescription guide covering the four data points needed per case: advancement measurement method used, prescribed millimeters of advancement, upper and lower arch impressions or scans, and patient maximum opening measurement. That information set eliminates the back-and-forth that typically delays snoring appliance cases by three to five days at less organized labs. Prescription questions go directly to the technician assigned to the case, not a general inbox.
