San Antonio Mandibular Advancement Device

San Antonio runs a dense mix of sleep medicine practices, multi-specialty DSOs along the 1604 corridor, and independent general dentists who've started managing mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea in-house after CBCT and home sleep test partnerships expanded across Bexar County. That clinical shift created real demand for a lab that fabricates mandibular advancement devices with precision bite registration, predictable protrusion increments, and materials that hold titration adjustments without distorting over 18 to 24 months of nightly use.

  • Pre-paid two-way shipping, nationwide
  • A named technician on every case
  • Margins verified against your prescription
  • Tempe + Tucson locations

THE SERVICE

Built to your prescription.

San Antonio runs a dense mix of sleep medicine practices, multi-specialty DSOs along the 1604 corridor, and independent general dentists who've started managing mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea in-house after CBCT and home sleep test partnerships expanded across Bexar County. That clinical shift created real demand for a lab that fabricates mandibular advancement devices with precision bite registration, predictable protrusion increments, and materials that hold titration adjustments without distorting over 18 to 24 months of nightly use.

THE DETAIL

How we build it.

Most national-volume labs treat MADs as a commodity appliance: standard EVA blank, generic protrusion, ship and done. That works until a patient comes back three times for adjustments that the original bite registration should have resolved. Dani Dental runs a named-technician model, meaning the same person who reads the bite record designs the appliance and reviews the finished unit before it leaves the lab. San Antonio doctors get a direct line to that technician, not a ticket number. Large network labs often route sleep appliance cases through a generalist production line alongside crown-and-bridge volume. Dani's appliance workflow is segmented. Sleep cases are reviewed by technicians with specific removables and sleep appliance training, and the QC step is built into the production sequence rather than bolted on at shipping. That separation is what keeps the remake rate under 2.5 percent across all appliance types. On communication, the difference is response time measured in hours. Many category-average labs acknowledge cases in 24 to 48 hours. Dani's San Antonio-referring doctors receive a same-business-day case confirmation and a 3-hour response window on active case questions during the fabrication cycle. For a practice managing sleep appliance patients alongside a full restorative schedule, that speed eliminates the chair-time uncertainty that builds up when a lab goes quiet mid-case.

GETTING CASES TO US

Logistics, to the bench.

San Antonio runs a dense mix of sleep medicine practices, multi-specialty DSOs along the 1604 corridor, and independent general dentists who've started managing mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea in-house after CBCT and home sleep test partnerships expanded across Bexar County. That clinical shift created real demand for a lab that fabricates mandibular advancement devices with precision bite registration, predictable protrusion increments, and materials that hold titration adjustments without distorting over 18 to 24 months of nightly use. Dani Dental fabricates MADs using thermoplastic and hard-acrylic hybrid frameworks calibrated to the case's titration range. Each appliance is built from the referring doctor's digital scan or PVS impression, with the protrusion set to the clinician's specified starting position. We cross-check vertical dimension and lateral clearance before any acrylic is processed, catching fit issues at the design stage rather than after the patient's third adjustment visit. For San Antonio doctors managing a higher sleep appliance volume, we support batched case submission with consolidated tracking. Each shipped case includes the fabricating technician's direct contact, so a question about retention clip tension or a titration-related refit gets answered by the person who built the device, not a general support queue.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What practices ask

What bite registration format does Dani Dental require for MAD fabrication?
We accept George Gauge bite registrations, Halstrom hinge bites, and protrusive wax bites. Digital scan submissions with a centric and protrusive scan position are also accepted. If your practice uses a different protocol, call the lab before submitting. We will confirm compatibility in one call rather than having a case sit on hold.
How long does MAD fabrication take for San Antonio practices?
Standard turnaround is 7 to 10 business days from the day we receive a complete case (scan or impression plus bite registration). Rush cases with 5-business-day turnaround are available for an additional fee. Contact the lab before submission to confirm rush slot availability for your target delivery date.
Which MAD designs does Dani Dental fabricate?
We fabricate Herbst-style, dorsal-fin, and EMA-style appliances in hard acrylic, thermoplastic, and hybrid construction. Titration range is set to the referring doctor's specification. If you have a patient with a specific previous appliance history, share that detail on the prescription and the assigned technician will account for it in the design.
What happens if the MAD needs a refit after delivery?
Contact your assigned technician directly. Most refit requests are resolved by understanding whether the issue is bite-related, retention-related, or a titration adjustment. Cases that require a remake due to a lab fabrication error are remade at no charge. We keep all case records on file for 24 months, so there is no need to resubmit records for a covered refit.
Can San Antonio practices submit MAD cases digitally?
Yes. We accept STL files from all major intraoral scanner platforms, including iTero, 3Shape TRIOS, and Medit. Submit the maxillary scan, mandibular scan, and the bite scan at the prescribed protrusion. Include the referring doctor's protrusion target and titration range on the digital prescription, and the case moves directly into design without a conversion delay.
Does Dani Dental support practices new to offering MAD therapy?
Yes. If your San Antonio practice is adding sleep appliance services and you have questions about case selection criteria, bite registration technique, or titration documentation, reach out before your first submission. We have helped practices set up an appliance workflow from scratch and can walk through the prescription process in a single call, typically under 20 minutes.
