cess guarantees a perfect fit and
reduces the delivery process to
just a few minutes.
Besides a perfect fit, there are
other times that it makes good
appliance management sense to
request the Accu-Fit liner in your
appliance. First, for patients
who will be requiring restor-
ative work or are in the process
of having dental work complet-
ed. Dr. Neil Zane, at the New
York Center for Neuromuscular
Dentistry says “From a personal
experience, the ability to re-
adapt the Accu-Fit to restorative
changes sets it apart from simi-
lar sleep appliances”. This mate-
rial can be reformed following
dental work that might have
otherwise made their current
sleep appliance obsolete.
This means that the doctor will
not have to order a new ap-
pliance after completed resto-
rations. This saves both the
doctor and patient from having
to absorb the cost of fabricating
new appliances.
Finally, the Accu-Fit liner is ideal
for patients with retention issues
due to shortened lingual crown
height or limited undercuts.
Many times, with these patients
it is a clinical challenge to adjust
the acrylic or dual laminate ma-
terials tight enough for the ap-
pliance to fit comfortably for full
night time wear. The Accu-Fit
liner eliminates the challenge of
retention with the simple meth-
od for retention modification
using hot water (160 degrees).
Remember, with a little hot wa-
ter the dentist can readapt the
liner making it tighter or looser
for both retention and patient
comfort.
In summary, DynaFlex offers a
significant material innovation
in our sleep appliances with
the Accu-Fit liner. Requesting
the Accu-Fit liner will provide
you with an appliance that’s
guaranteed to fit, first time,
every time. The patent pending
process provides fast and easy
delivery, there are no acrylic or
wire work adjustments and your
sleep appliances can be modified
following dental restorations.
DynaFlex offers the Accu-Fit/
ThermAcryl liners in several
appliances including DynaFlex
Dorsal, Herbst, dreamTAP and
TAP3 Elite.
