The Dental Crafters' IST Snoring Appliance is a 2 piece upper and lower arch system designed to posture the lower jaw forward which increases the lower airway passage and alleviates snoring. It is custom-fit to a patient's teeth by a professional dentist. The upper and lower appliances are connected by means of a telescoping male and female stainless steel tube (upper) and rod (lower) ISTplus mechanism produced by Dr Hinz Dental. The acrylic arches of the appliance are secured to the occlusal surface. The system is bilateral, left and right. While the patient can open and close their mouth, the lower jaw arcs as predetermined by the construction of the appliance. The dentist determines the position in which the lower jaw is supported in an anterior position.
The Company's anti-snoring device covered by this submission is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed Anti-Snoring Devices. Specifically, the Dental Crafters' IST Snoring Appliance is substantially equivalent to Endsnor (K072731), Removable Arylic Herbst Allesee Snore (K070327), and TAP® III (K062951). IST has the same general intended use, similar principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate devices
