SLEEP APNEA

EMA (Elastic Mandibular Appliance)


Two major design innovations of the EMA include the regulation of the amount of advancement and freedom of mandibular motion. The flexibility of the elastic bands allow for individualization of treatment, and the ability for quick and easy adjustments to provide optimum results. Bands of varying elasticity move the mandible forward into the desired position while allowing the jaw to move in all directions. This positioning of the mandible causes a forward movement of the tongue, reopening the air flow through the oral pharynx.

SLEEP APPLIANCE SUPPLIES


Your EMA appliance (Elastic Mandibular Appliance) can be adjusted by using a series of colored EMA straps in varying lengths. There are 36 straps to choose from and most patients gradually move from a strap that is soft to one that is more firm. In each case you will find a range of white, yellow and blue straps. The clear straps are extra firm and are not often requested.
