Sleep disorders have the potential to stand in the way of your competitive edge, interpersonal relationships, safety, health, and overall quality of life.

In managing these sleep disorders, Airway Metrics® three-component system is used to help clinicians identify the ideal protrusive and vertical placement of the mandible to open patients’ airways.

The primary components consist of a Snore Screener (SS) and 15 Mandibular Positioning Simulators (MPS) housed in a cassette. The secondary component includes 9 Vertical Titration Keys (VTKs) that quickly reveal how certain anterior/vertical mandibular positions increase the airway and provide a guide for further tuning with the MPS. These keys work with any sleep appliance.

Airway Metrics® provides for 50+ vertical and horizontal positions to create a faster, more accurate and more comfortable patient outcome for oral appliance therapy.
