Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The device is a functional applicance made from a stainless steel casing and acrylic which houses a small magnet. The device is cemented onto the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth and with the use of magnetic forces moves the lower jaw forward. The amount of movment of the jaw is determined by another magnetic plate which is designed so that the magnet is placed at 3mm intervals which will act to move the lower jaw forward in 3mm incremental steps. The device is worn in the mouth for 9 months.
