With snoring and sleep apnea, every patient is different! FDA approved for the treatment of both snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the EMA appliance has been specifically designed to provide a customized, effective solution for every patient situation! And, Space Maintainers has the proven experience to create the optimal appliance to precisely meet those needs.
Specially designed, patented elastic straps provide unsurpassed lateral freedom and overall TMJ comfort. These straps gently bring the mandible forward into desired position (causes forward movement of tongue, opening airway). Available in wide range of lengths and durometers (see chart), the “Elastic Pull” easily changed and adjusted by changing straps for optimal results.
EMA’s thin (only 2 mm), clear upper and lower bases are custom pressure-formed from each patient’s models. Fitting like a retainer, they utilize undercut areas of teeth for retention. Full occlusal coverage on both arches ensures excellent long-term stability (without tooth movement). EMA appliances have no projections in the palate ensuring maximum anterior tongue space.
* NOTE: Patients diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnea require a sleep study with this appliance, so the referring physician knows that the apnea has been reduced to a safe range.
