연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The oral appliance system of claim 1, wherein the upper tray comprises: an upper moldable material; and an upper support member structured to define an upper region adapted to carry a portion of the upper moldable material. 3. The oral appliance system of claim 2, wherein the upper support member includes a base with a bonding surface and an occlusal surface, an outer wall with a front surface and a rear surface, and an inner wall with a front surface and a rear surface, and wherein at least a portion of the upper region is defined by the bonding surface of the base, the rear surface of the outer wall, and the front surface of the inner wall. 4. The oral appliance system of claim 3, wherein the bonding surface of the upper support member is concave to accommodate the Curve of Spee of a user's maxillary dentition. 5. The oral appliance system of claim 1, wherein the upper tray has a slotted engagement member extending therefrom and each of at least some of the lower trays has an elongated engagement member extending therefrom, and wherein the slotted engagement member is structured to receive the elongated engagement member of a selected one of the lower trays and releasably couple the upper tray to the selected one of the lower trays. 6. The oral appliance system of claim 5, wherein the slotted engagement member and the elongated engagement member cooperate to permit a predetermined amount of lateral movement and a predetermined amount of vertical movement of the upper tray relative to the selected one of the lower trays. 7. The oral appliance system of claim 6, wherein the predetermined amount of vertical movement is at least approximately 0.1 millimeter. 8. The oral appliance system of claim 7, wherein the predetermined amount of lateral movement is approximately between 10 millimeters and 13 millimeters. 9. The oral appliance system of claim 5, wherein the upper tray has a single slotted engagement member extending from the occlusal surface of the base of the upper support member and wherein the at least some of the lower trays has an elongated engagement member extending from the occlusal surface of the base of the lower support member. 10. The oral appliance system of claim 5, wherein at least one of the slotted engagement member and the elongated engagement member includes a frangible portion. 11. The oral appliance system of claim 1, wherein the upper tray includes an upper moldable material with a channel structured to align the user's dentition within the center thereof, the channel including a substantially V-shaped portion structured to engage an anterior portion of the user's maxillary dentition and a substantially U-shaped portion structured to engage a posterior portion of the user's maxillary dentition, and wherein at least one of the plurality of lower trays includes a lower moldable material with a channel structured to align the user's dentition within the center thereof, the channel including a substantially V-shaped portion structured to engage an anterior portion of the user's mandibular dentition and a substantially U-shaped portion structured to engage a posterior portion of the user's mandibular dentition. 12. The oral appliance system of claim 11, wherein at least one of the upper moldable material and the lower moldable material includes an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin and an aliphatic polyester. 13. The oral appliance system of claim 1, wherein each of the lower trays comprises: an lower moldable material; and a lower support member structured to define a lower region adapted to carry a portion of the lower moldable material. 14. The oral appliance system of claim 13, wherein the lower support member includes a base with a bonding surface and an occlusal surface, an outer wall with a front surface and a rear surface, and an inner wall with a front surface and a rear surface, and wherein at least a portion of the lower region is defined by the bonding surface of the base, the rear surface of the outer wall, and the front surface of the inner wall. 15. The oral appliance system of claim 14, wherein the bonding surface of the lower support member is convex to accommodate the Curve of Spee of a user's mandibular dentition. 16. The oral appliance system of claim 1, wherein each of the lower trays, in combination with the upper tray, are structured to impart an amount of vertical spacing between the user's maxillary dentition and mandibular dentition. 17. The oral appliance system of claim 16, wherein at least one of the lower trays, in combination with upper tray, is structured to impart approximately 0.394 inches (10 millimeters) of vertical spacing. 18. The oral appliance system of claim 1 further comprising a holding tray structured to engage at least one of the upper tray and some of the plurality of lower trays. 19. A method for effecting the patency of a user's airway, comprising: providing an oral appliance assembly comprising an upper tray adaptable to conform to a user's maxillary dentition and a plurality of lower trays each adaptable to conform to the user's mandibular dentition, wherein each of at least some of the lower trays is structured to couple with the upper tray to impart a different fixed amount of mandibular advancement; selecting of at least one of the plurality of lower trays; and coupling the upper tray with a selected one of the lower trays to form an oral appliance having a desired amount of mandibular advancement. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein providing an oral appliance assembly, further comprises: providing an upper tray having an upper moldable material and an upper support member structured to define an upper region adapted to carry a portion of the upper moldable material; and providing a lower tray having a lower moldable material and a lower support member structured to define lower region adapted to carry a portion of the lower moldable material. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein at least one of providing an oral appliance assembly, further comprises at least one of: providing a number of electrodes extending from at least one of the upper support member, lower support member, the upper moldable material, and the lower moldable; and structuring at least one of the upper support member and the lower support member to couple with and stabilize a patient interface device. 22. The method of claim 19, further comprising inserting the upper tray and the selected lower tray into the user's mouth. 23. The method of claim 19, wherein providing an oral appliance assembly includes at least one of fitting the upper tray to conform to a user's maxillary dentition and fitting at least one of the lower trays to a user's mandibular dentition. 24. The method of claim 19, wherein providing an oral appliance assembly, further comprises providing an upper tray and a lower tray which when engaged are structured to impart a desired amount of vertical spacing between the user's maxillary dentition and mandibular dentition. 25. The method of claim 19, wherein providing an oral appliance assembly, further comprises providing an upper tray and a lower tray which when engaged are structured to impart approximately 0.394 inches (10 millimeters) of vertical spacing between the user's maxillary dentition and mandibular dentition.
