Keller Laboratories’ ClearDream is an oral appliance for the treatment of snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea in adults. ClearDream is a dorsal appliance, as it uses “fins” on the lower arch to advance the mandible. The ClearDream maintains an open airway using titratable posterior hardware in the upper arch to adjust the degree the lower jaw is moved forward.
The ClearDream is made with Keller’s clinically unbreakable Clear 450 material. The manufacturer employs a wax/design/inject manufacturing process that allows the lower arch with fin to be fabricated in one piece, greatly reducing the likelihood of fin breakage.
According to Keller, advantages include:
- Durable: Made with Keller’s clinically unbreakable Clear 450
- Design: Scalloped/contoured lingual surfaces for patient comfort and additional tongue space
- Retention: No ball clasps required—the combination of the design and Clear 450 material achieves sufficient retention
How do you adjust the clearDream appliance
The product was working great, but I’ve been starting to snore a lot more lately, the mouth piece doesn’t seem to be pulling my lower jaw out as far any more. Which way do I need to adjust the appliance.
