Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for fitting a dental device are provided in which an upper arch (12) receives a drive mechanism (16). Drive mechanism (16) is controlled by a controller (32). The drive mechanism (16) allows for translational adjustment of a post (18). Post (18) contacts a lower arch (14), thereby causing a user's lower jaw to extend forward. The post (18) is adjusted for maximum effectiveness in reducing snoring while maintaining comfort. The position of the post (18) is then recorded and a permanent dental device is made with a post in a corresponding position.
