PROTOCOLE DE L’AVANCÉE
Votre appareil sera livré avec une avancée d’environ
70% de votre capacité maximum d’avancement.
L’avancement de la mâchoire doit se faire progressive-
ment en respectant votre tolérance pour ne pas causer
de traumatisme aux articulations.
On recommande une avancée progressive de 1 mm à
la fois.
Il est conseillé de porter la même longueur de tiges
pendant 2 à 3 semaines avant de RACCOURCIR les
tiges.
En fonction de votre confort et de votre tolérance,
l’avancée de la mâchoire inférieure pourra se
poursuivre jusqu’à une diminution ou une dispari-
tion complète du ronflement, ou selon votre capacité
maximum d’avancement.
Respectez les directives de votre praticien dentaire.
