Details

BluePro® is a non-custom, boil-and-bite sleep appliance for the treatment of snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

BluePro can also be used as a first-step trial device fitted chair-side by a trained dental professional. High-performance thermoplastic provides strong and long-lasting retention, while a low-profile titration mechanism allows for simple self-adjustment and fine-tuning.

PROVEN RETENTIVE - Retentive force of 26 Newton
EASILY ADJUSTABLE
COMFORTABLE TO WEAR

Indications for use:

Snoring without severe comorbidities
Mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea confirmed by polysomnography
CPAP intolerance
Temporary need such as travel or trial before custom-made appliance

Contraindications:

Insufficient dentition (minimum of eight stable teeth per arch are required)
Untreated periodontal disease
Severe or painful temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
Severe untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

Seating & Fitting

Upper and lower splints are immersed in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until the thermoplastic material becomes soft and clear. Each splint is removed from the water to cool for 1 minute before fitting separately to the upper and lower arches. After cooling and setting on the teeth for 4 minutes, the splints are removed and finished by trimming any excess thermoplastic material with a sharp knife. Upper and lower splints are connected to form the finished appliance before re-inserting in the mouth to find the optimal level of mandibular protrusion to begin therapy. The thermoforming process is reversible and can be repeated multiple times.

Adjustment

A comfortable starting position can be identified by inserting the device, unlocked, into the mouth and moving the lower jaw. When the optimal level of protrusion is found, the device is removed and locked in position before wearing during sleep. A titration protocol is recommended, whereby the lower jaw is advanced 1 mm per week, if necessary, until symptoms are relieved. On average, the fitting appointment will require approximately 20 minutes for molding, adjustment, and patient instructions.

Initial advancement: 50-60% of maximum protrusion

Progressive adjustment is based on appliance tolerance and clinical effectiveness such as snoring reduction and / or sleep improvement. Multiple reheating and readjustments are possible without compromising the device.

Recommended Cleaning

Daily cleaning with cold water and soft toothbrush. Regular soaking in a sterilizing solution.
