TECHNICAL NOTES
We need upper and lower models. If the models cannot be hand-articulated, please send a bite registration in centric occlusion.
Please check how far the patient is able to move their mandible protrusively. A protrusive bite is mandatory in cases wherein:
a) The patient’s capability to move their mandible into the protrusive position is limited
b) The patient’s mandible shifts to one side or the other
c) The patient has an existing appliance set to a specific protrusive position wherein our lab must duplicate the anteriorization
Silent Nite can be anteriorized between 1-10mm using a special template.
Standard setting for Snite appliance 27/24 3mm anteriorization.
25/24 1mm anteriorization
28/24 4mm anteriorization
31/24 7mm anteriorization
25/23 2mm anteriorization
28/23 5mm anteriorization
31/23 8mm anteriorization
25/22 3mm anteriorization
28/22 6mm anteriorization
31/22 9mm anteriorization

Recommended Cleaning Instructions:
- Brush and floss your teeth before placing the appliance in your mouth.
- DO NOT soak the appliance in mouthwash, denture cleaner or alcohol. DO NOT place in hot or boiling water or expose to excessive heat (such as direct sunlight), as this will distort the appliance.
