Telescopic Advancer — Antisnoring Kit

The kit, specifically engineered for the construction of one antisnoring appliance with telescopic plugs and tubes, includes all the components for an easier and precise construction of the appliance.

The plug and tube components are manufactured using biocompatible stainless steel with the highest strength available, providing durability to any biomechanical stress. The plug component features a special design that does not permit disassembly from the tube even when the patient is in a wide-open mouth position.

The housings for acrylic are designed to be embedded in the acrylic splint: they feature a laser welded wire throughout that can be easily bent to enhance the resin retention and avoid unwanted detachment. The outer part presents a threaded portion to accommodate the square head screws binding the ends of the telescopic arms.

The same instrument is necessary to activate the square head advancer screw into the plug in the direction indicated by the lasered arrow: each quarter turn of activation produces 0.1 mm advancement. The maximum elongation is 7 mm on both sides. A ruler is laser etched on the wrench handle to check the activation length throughout treatment.
