[QUOTE="TheLabGuy, post: 315759, member: 126"] That picture isn't really a mandible repositioner because nothing is going to hold the mandible in place. You would need the maxillary to have that blue acrylic on it and it securely meshed with the mandible blue in a exact mandible protrusive position (this is where the George's guage comes into effect). Because too much will make in unbearable to wear and not enough isn't giving you much benefit. Now if you add you're a Class II or Class III and oh boy, you're in for some real fun then. It's a game changer for folks who snore, or folks who don't meet the CPAP threshold but still show some slight sleep apnea. Most Docs that are thinking about this usually have there patients get a sleep study done (it covers there ass, but also diagnosis the patient fully to make sure they don't have a serious form of sleep apnea where a CPAP machine will be required). It's life changing for those that need it...especially for the spouse. [/QUOTE]
