I appreciate the input. I am learning what to watch for. I will take a look at the DreamTap too.
My son is also getting an oral appliance. He lives in Portland. His Dr. recommended the Panthera due to his grinding. I am not aware whether his can be adjusted easily. He is still waiting for delivery, so no experience with it yet.
I am going to call Dr Parker today and discuss some of these other options. I know he is nationally known and I respect his input. I'm sure every Dr has their own preferences so it's kind of hard to know how far to push the selection process.
I have also been told I have a tmj disorder. My right jaw will push out of place occasionally. I always thought it was related to Rheumatoid Arthritis but I guess not. So I'm sure he is trying to take everything into account.
Thank you! I will also look at the Micro2. I am seeing Dr J. Parker in Edina. He did not mention the Micro2 for my application, maybe there was a reason. He listed the SUAD, Somnodent flex, and Narval. I assume the Micro2 is easier or doesn't need adjustment with dental work. I made sure I had any crowns/work completed before we did the molds but realize dental may still be required in the future.
I have been trying to research oral appliances for both reliability and comfort. The Narval CC looks to be the most comfortable but I have been told I grind/clench my teeth. The Suad looks to be the most durable. How is the Narval CC rated for people who grind or clench their teeth?
If I am going to spend a lot of money on this, I want to know it's going to last under my conditions. Thanks
