The Crane Acrylic Herbst Appliance is comprised of upper and lower patient-specific acrylic splints,
connected bilaterally via a telescoping Herbst mechanism that orients the jaw in a predetermined
relationship. The Herbst mechanism allows the patient vertical and lateral range of movement
while the jaws are oriented in the biting relationship determined by the positioning of the
mechanism as it connects to the respective arch splint.
The appliance positions the lower jaw forward and open vertically from its normal location which
causes a protrusion in the mandible in relation to the maxilla. The appliance aims through this
repositioning (which is temporary while the appliance is being used) to increase air exchange, and
to reduce snoring and apnea by increasing pharyngeal space.
The prescribing dentist determines the repositioning of the mandible through a patient-specific
protrusive bite registration taken by the dentist. The dentist is also able to adjust the mandible's
position by altering the Herbst mechanism, and/or adjusting the acrylic portion of the device. The
Acrylic Splint Herbst Appliance is removable by the patient, and is worn while sleeping to support
the mandible in a forward position determined by the prescribing dentist.

47527 | Mandible-repositioning/palate-lifting sleep-disordered breathing orthosis |
A removable intraoral device designed alleviate sleep-disordered breathing conditions (e.g., snoring, obstructive sleep apnoea) by repositioning the lower jaw (mandible), frequently in a downward and forward position, and by elevating the soft palate (soft tissue constituting the back of the roof of the mouth). It works by locking the mandible (e.g., holding the teeth) and preventing it from retruding and by applying pressure to lift a drooping soft palate, thus increasing the patency of the airway and decreasing both air turbulence and airway obstruction. This is a reusable device.
