Our technicians fabricate smart movesĀ® with ComfortTrackā„¢, a material developed exclusively for clear aligners. It applies gentle pressure over time, oļ¬€ering significantly more comfort than standard aligners.

This is achieved through ComfortTrackā€™s multilayered structure, which generates 40% less initial force, resulting in reduced patient pain, while retaining over 150% more force on day 7.

Wondering how to get started with dental sleep medicine?

From screening patients to choosing an appliance and evaluating results, Great Lakes provides training, tools, and lab support.

1ļøāƒ£ Screen your patients using a series of questions and an examination. Ask about daytime fatigue or snoring, and check for oral clues, such as a scalloped tongue or a high palate.

2ļøāƒ£ Use a home sleep screener to capture real data on breathing patterns.

3ļøāƒ£ Capture a protrusive bite position with the George GaugeĀ® or an intraoral scan, and send this to the lab.

4ļøāƒ£ Match the right appliance based on bite position, material, and patient anatomy.
