Abstract: Certain configurations of removable oral devices are described. In some instances, the removable oral device includes a palatal element. In certain configurations, the palatal element may comprise a variable hardness at different areas, e.g., edges can be softer than other areas of the removable oral device. In other instances, the removable oral device may comprise two or more individual palatal elements which together can form the palatal element and permit user adjustment of the oral volume. Various materials used in the palatal element are described. Sensors and other on-board devices are also described.

Abstract: Certain configurations of methods of using removable oral devices are described. In some examples, a removable oral device can be used in weight loss, weight management, athletic performance or in other applications to monitor or alter a user's behavior or monitor one or more physiological conditions. If desired, the removable oral device can be used in combination with a storage case, a mobile device, application software or other components.

Abstract: Certain configurations of methods which can be used to produce removable oral devices are described. In some instances, the removable oral devices can be produced using molding, digital scanning, on demand printing and/or other processes. In certain examples, the produced removable oral device can be used in weight management, athletic performance or in other applications.

Abstract: An oral appliance constructed with a housing that encloses a recorder and a transceiver. The oral appliance responds to commands received via the transceiver. When so directed, the oral appliance uses one or more sensors alone or in combination to record measurements at periodic intervals. When communicatively coupled to a suitably configured communication device, the oral appliance receives commands that direct the oral appliance to transmit an identifier, the recorded data, or both the identifier and the data. The transmitted data can be used to determine whether the user of the oral appliance has complied with a recommended usage schedule.

Abstract: An apparatus constructed with a housing that encloses an array of sensors, a memory and a transceiver is attached in an oral cavity. The apparatus responds to commands received via the transceiver. When so directed, the apparatus uses one or more sensors alone or in combination to record measurements responsive to the presence of a select substance or substances in a host's oral cavity. When communicatively coupled to a suitably configured communication device, the apparatus receives commands that direct the apparatus to transmit the recorded data, or both an identifier and the data. The transmitted data can be used to determine whether the user of the apparatus has complied with a recommended consumption behavior, has good oral hygiene, is suffering from a disease, etc.

Abstract: An information system determines compliant or non-compliant use of an oral appliance over time. The system includes a communication device and a data analyzer. The communication device forwards commands to, and receives information from, an oral appliance. The oral appliance records at least one measure indicative of presence of the oral appliance in an oral cavity. The communication device communicates with the oral appliance when the two are within operational range of each other. The communication device forwards information to the data analyzer. In turn, the data analyzer determines whether a user's use of the oral appliance is compliant with a schedule. The data analyzer generates one or more reports that can be accessed, communicated and reviewed by those with appropriate authorization credentials.
