EMA Appliance
Truline Dental has launched the EMA sleep apnoea appliance which can be ordered from traditional impressions or an intraoral scan. The EMA appliance resembles and fits like an orthodontic retainer. The primary treatment mechanism of opening the bite and gently moving the mandible forward is achieved with the use of occlusal bite pads and the combination of positioned lugs and interchangeable elastic straps that offer varying degrees of mandibular advancement.
