Trouble Shooting:

 

 If too tight

Do not remold!!

 

Dip the section the hot water for several seconds.  Remove quickly.  Repeat until resolved.  If the 

area around the upper front teeth is still tight reheat that section for a few seconds and then use 

your index finger to spread it out away from the teeth.  

S

ometimes, it can take several days 

before the device stops shrinking

 

and feeling too tight

. If that occurs 

each night run the 

tight section under hot tap water for about 30 seconds and place back in the mouth for 

the night.

 

During the cooling process, 

only use cold water to tighten

 the device.  Tightening the device is 

required when there are missing teeth or very short crowns.  After molding place in cold water to 

tighten and set the device.

 

 Too tight on the front teeth?

 

    Additional adjustments:

 

If after using the device for several days you still find that you are snoring, an adjustment can be 

made.  Use the hex pin to loosen the screws and advance each cam 1 mm forward.  Tighten and 

try it for another night.  Repeat as necessary. Be careful not to advance too much as it may cause 

pain.  Maximum forward position does not always get the best results.

 

Setting the wheel  

forward toward the 

front teeth will in-

crease the protrusion 

of the jaw.
