Abstract: A method includes inserting an irradiated, cross-linked thermoplastic polymer into a pressure chamber of a pressure molding machine, positioning an oral model on a molding platform of the pressure molding machine, applying heat using a heat element to soften the thermoplastic polymer, and applying pressure to form the thermoplastic polymer over the oral model to produce a tray. The method also includes scanning the tray to produce a scanned surface and milling a frame based on the scanned surface. The frame includes a channel that fits the tray. The method further includes inserting the tray into the channel of the frame and coupling the tray to the frame.

Abstract: An oral appliance includes an upper arch and a seal. The upper arch may be positioned proximate a maxillary dentition of a user. The upper arch includes a first tab and a second tab positioned on opposite sides of a plane substantially bisecting the upper arch. The seal defines a first receptacle and a second receptacle that may receive the first and second tabs to couple the seal to the upper arch and to inhibit breathing through a mouth of the user.

Abstract: An oral appliance includes an upper arched frame, an upper moldable tray coupled to the upper arched frame, a lower arched frame, and a lower moldable tray coupled to the lower arched frame. The upper arched frame includes a first tab and a second tab being positioned, with respect to each other, on opposite sides of a plane substantially bisecting the upper arched frame. The lower arched frame includes a third tab extending from the lower arched frame.

Abstract: An oral appliance includes an upper arch, a lower arch, and an electronic device. The upper arch is configured to be positioned within a user's mouth proximate the user's maxillary dentition when the upper arch is positioned in the user's mouth. The lower arch is configured to be positioned proximate the user's mandibular dentition when the lower arch is positioned in the user's mouth. The electronic device is coupled to one or more of the upper arch and the lower arch, the electronic device configured to monitor a feature of the environment proximate one or more of the upper arch and the lower arch.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus for improved breathing is provided. The apparatus may include an improved oral appliance, an improved mask, an improved coupler to couple an oral appliance to a mask, and/or a combination of these improvements.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus may include a first arched frame and a second arched frame. The first arched frame may include an adjustment mechanism and may be configured to be positioned proximate to the occlusal surface of a user's mandibular arch such that the first arched frame extends beyond the lower cuspids of the user's mandibular arch when the first arched frame is positioned in the user's mouth. The second arched frame may include a receiving mechanism and may be configured to be positioned proximate to the occlusal surface of a user's maxillary arch such that the second arched frame extends beyond the upper cuspids of the user's maxillary arch when the second arched frame is positioned in the user's mouth. The receiving mechanism may be configured to engage the adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of the mandibular arch relative to the maxillary arch.
