Adjustable Dorsal

Providing superior fit, retention and comfort, the SML™ Dorsal utilizes precision-milled upper and lower occlusal splints to open the vertical relationship while holding the mandible in the desired forward position. Interlocking buccal inclines allow a desirable degree of mandibular lateral movement, thus alleviating muscle trismus. The inclines, while keeping the mandible from dropping open during sleep, enable the patient to open and close normally while wearing the appliance. Suitable for all dentitions, the SML™ Dorsal is ideal for patients with existing crown and/or bridge work.

 IMPORTANT: Construction bite should be taken with mandible 65%-75% advanced with 4mm interincisal opening.
