Ricoh Orthodontic Appliances works with you to create a custom-made appliance for each individual patient, allowing for the best treatment plan possible to address their snoring and sleep apnea. We understand that each patient is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for everyone. That’s why we provide custom-fitted oral appliances tailored to each individual’s specific anatomy and condition. Using advanced imaging technology and precise measurements, our skilled technicians craft appliances that ensure optimal fit, comfort, and effectiveness. At Ricoh Orthodontic Appliances, we offer the following Dental Sleep Appliances:
ROA-TwinBlock
The ROA-TwinBlock appliance it is designed to have the advancement mechanism on the occlusal surface.
Through this mechanism, the jaw is able to advance even further than other appliances by approximately 6mm. The ROA-TB design makes it extremely comfortable for the cheeks and the tongue, improving treatment results.
Another exciting feature of this appliance is the availability of various colors for its fabrication. Rather than having a clear appliance, you can choose from a variety of colors to personalize your ROA-TwinBlock appliance.
ROA-Herbst
This appliance is a device that has the flexibility that allows more freedom for lateral movements than the standard Herbst type devices currently available.
We offer the ROA-Herbst to further improve treatment of you patients suffering from sleep apnea so that they can get a better night’s sleep.
ROA-Dorsal
The Dorsal Appliance is an intra-oral device that resembles a custom fitted mouth guard. With a two-piece construction, patients experience comfort and lateral jaw movement during treatment with the Dorsal Appliance. Additionally, the Dorsal fins on the mandibular appliance interface with inclines built into the buccal of the upper appliance in order to dictate a specific mandibular position.
Fabricated with adjustable screws, this oral appliance allows for further mandibular advancement and treatment adjustment when needed.
EMA
The EMA oral appliance works by opening the bite and gently advancing the mandible with interchangeable elastic straps to increase airway space. With an EMA oral appliance, deeper, more restful sleep is promoted through the prevention of snoring while also relieving the symptoms of sleep apnea in your patients.
By utilizing an EMA oral appliance, it does not interfere with breathing through the mouth, even when nasal passages are congested. With nine strap lengths and four different elastic options, the EMA device has many options for advancements in treatment.
Due to the varying elastic bands, non-restricted lateral/protrusive movement, along with improved movements of the jaw, are possible.
