SnoreHook: FDA cleared for mild/moderate OSA
Chairside-Fabricated Mandibular Advancement
A customizable mandibular advancement appliance designed to simplify clinical workflow, reduce appliance expense, and eliminate conventional laboratory turnaround.
Available to qualified dental practitioners. Postage and handling apply.
Designed for fabrication and fitting during the treatment visit.
Predictable direct appliance expense for the practice.
No outside laboratory fabrication period required.
A Different Approach to Appliance Delivery
Conventional laboratory-fabricated mandibular advancement appliances commonly involve an outside laboratory, additional fabrication expense, and a waiting period before delivery. SnoreHook-FH™ offers practitioners an alternative: a customizable, titratable appliance that can be fabricated chairside, fitted, and potentially delivered during the same visit.
Comparing Two Delivery Models
| Consideration | Laboratory-Fabricated | SnoreHook Chairside |
|---|---|---|
| Fabrication | Outside laboratory | In-office |
| Typical turnaround | Approximately 10 working days | Approximately 20 minutes |
| Appliance expense | Approximately $450 | $95 |
| Patient delivery | Generally requires a later visit | Potentially same-day |
Conventional laboratory figures are illustrative estimates; fees and turnaround vary by laboratory and appliance. Costs shown exclude professional services and other practice expenses. Fabrication time varies with clinical circumstances.
Anterior Mandibular Advancement
SnoreHook employs customizable maxillary and mandibular trays combined with a stainless steel anterior hooking mechanism and opposing mandibular crossplate. The advancement mechanism provides controlled mandibular positioning and titration.
The SnoreHook system is intended for use within its applicable FDA-cleared indications, including treatment of snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea as described in the device labeling.
Engineered for Chairside Fabrication
The SnoreHook protocol set includes:
- Stainless steel mandibular advancement hooking mechanism
- Opposing mandibular crossplate
- Patented width-adjustable maxillary and mandibular polycarbonate trays
- Hexagonal adjustment key
- Thermoplastic acrylic fabrication material
- Security Bar component for configurations in which it is indicated
Component configuration and use should follow the instructions applicable to the supplied model.
