  • Multi-appliance system and method for treating obstructive sleep apnea and correcting malocclusion simultaneously
    Patent number: 10575981
    Abstract: A system and method for simultaneously (i) treating a patient's malocclusion by repositioning teeth from an initial tooth arrangement to a final tooth arrangement and (ii) treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea (“OSA”) by forcing the mandible forward comprises a plurality of (e.g., 10-30) sets of individual appliances. The appliances are configured to be placed successively on the patient's upper and lower dental arches and to incrementally reposition the teeth and forcing the jaw forward, during sleep. The system of appliances is preferably configured at the outset of treatment so that the patient may progress through treatment without the need to have the treating professional perform each successive step in the procedure.
