Intended Use
Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge is indicated to reduce snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients 18 years of age or older. It is worn while sleeping to support the lower jaw in a forward position prescribed by the dentist. The appliance is removable by the patient.
Device Description
The Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge is a mandibular advancement device. It holds the mandible in a protrusive position to increase the patient's ability to exchange air and decrease air turbulence, thus improving airflow during sleep. The device consists of upper and lower trays, which are fabricated using a biocompatible dual-layered thermoplastic material, and an engaging mechanism, which is the Glidewell Hinge (biocompatible medical grade stainless steel bars), and band lugs and hooks for attaching the optional orthodontic (elastic) bands, which are provided as accessories. The trays consist of a soft polyurethane inner layer that provides patient comfort and a hard polyester outer layer for durability. The hinge is adjustable by turning an inner adjustment screw with a hex driver, enabling the amount of mandibular advancement prescribed by the clinician. The design allows for the advancement of the mandible to be adjusted (increased or decreased) in 0.25 mm increments up to 10 mm. The orthodontic bands accessories are used to aid in holding the mouth closed. The end result, a forward position of the jaw, is the same as the predicate, however, the method of action of the predicate device and subject device are slightly different. Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge's method of action is identical to the Reference device and both use orthobands. Without orthobands, the patient's mouth can open during sleep which allows the tongue to fall back into the airway. The orthobands help keep the mouth closed to avoid this. With just a slight protrusion, the orthobands can be placed on the provided hooks. More protrusion requires the orthoband to be placed on the forward hook and the band lug. The device is customized to conform to the patient's upper and lower dentition based on the clinician's prescription. Upon receipt of the prescription, models for the trays are made and used during the thermoforming fabrication of the upper and lower trays. The difference between the Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge and the Primary Predicate Silent Nite sl is the mechanism connecting the trays: The new device's stainless steel hinge allows adjustment within the mechanism, while the Predicate's adjustment requires changing the plastic connectors. This is a non-sterile device, to be used only by the single patient for whom it is custom-designed and is to be worn during sleep.

and decrease air turbulence, thus improving airflow during sleep.
The device consists of upper and lower trays, which are fabricated
using a biocompatible dual-layered thermoplastic material, and an
engaging mechanism, which is the Glidewell Hinge (biocompatible
medical grade stainless steel bars), and band lugs and hooks for
attaching the optional orthodontic (elastic) bands, which are

prescribed by the clinician. The design allows for the advancement of the mandible to be adjusted (increased or decreased) in 0.25 mm increments up to 10 mm.

The orthodontic bands accessories are used to aid in holding the mouth closed. The end result, a forward position of the iaw, is the same as the predicate, however, the method of action of the predicate device and subject device are slightly different. Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge's method of action is identical to the Reference device and both use orthobands. Without orthobands, the patient's mouth can open during sleep which allows the tongue to fall back into the airway. The orthobands help keep the mouth closed to avoid this. With just a slight protrusion, the orthobands can be placed on the provided hooks. More protrusion requires the orthoband to be placed on the forward hook and the band lug.

The device is customized to conform to the patient's upper and lower dentition based on the clinician's prescription. Upon receipt of the prescription, models for the trays are made and used during the thermoforming fabrication of the upper and lower trays.

The difference between the Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge and the Primary Predicate Silent Nite sl is the mechanism connecting the trays: The new device's stainless steel hinge allows adjustment within the mechanism, while the Predicate's adjustment requires changing the plastic connectors.

This is a non-sterile device, to be used only by the single patient for whom it is custom-designed and is to be worn during sleep.

Comparison to Predicate Device:

Refer to the Comparison Table below for similarities and differences between Silent Nite Sleep Appliance with the Glidewell Hinge and the Primary Predicate device. In summary:

  • The intended uses are the same.
  • . The mechanisms of actions are the same.
  • . The materials used for the trays are the same as the Predicate and Reference #1.
  • I The methods used for manufacturing the appliances are similar.
  • . The materials used for the connector mechanism are different and the design for adjusting the jaw position is different, as follows:

The technological design of the subject device allows for microadjustments of the mandibular position to achieve the needed improvement in airflow during sleep, which is similar to Reference #2, while the Predicate device allows for millimeter incremental adjustment. Reference #2 also includes the optional orthobands like the subject device, but unlike the Predicate.

The design and material differences in the connector mechanism do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, and were addressed with standard verification and validation testing submitted in the 510(k).

Based on the documentation presented in the 510(k), as Substantial summarized above and the following side-by-side comparison, it Equivalence can be concluded subject device is substantially equivalent to the Conclusion predicate device.
