Device Story
Devices are intraoral appliances for snoring and mild to moderate OSA; prescribed by dentists. Removable Acrylic Herbst: upper/lower arch system; stainless steel telescoping Herbst mechanism; bilateral; supports lower jaw in dentist-determined anterior position. Enoch Snorinator: one-piece upper arch splint; pressure-formed; anterior ramp postures lower jaw forward. Allesee Snore Appliance (ASA): one-piece upper/lower pressure-formed splint; joined by orthodontic acrylic; rectangular airway; postures lower jaw forward. All devices function by mechanically repositioning the mandible to increase airway passage; patient-specific advancement determined by clinician. Benefits include reduced snoring and improved airway patency during sleep.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, intended use, and comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Intraoral appliances; materials include orthodontic acrylic and stainless steel (Herbst mechanism). Form factors include one-piece pressure-formed splints or two-piece arch systems with telescoping rods. Mechanical principle: mandibular advancement via physical positioning. No software or energy source.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) requiring mandibular repositioning.
Regulatory Classification
