The Slow Wave DS8 is indicated for the treatment of sleep bruxism and as an aid in the treatment of associated tension/migraine type headaches in adults over the age of 18.

The Slow Wave DS8 is an intraoral appliance designed to safeguard teeth and restorations from the impacts of bruxism forces. It is a patient-specific device that consists of two trays worn on the maxilla and mandible conforming to the upper or lower teeth. This device acts as a physical divide between upper and lower tooth surfaces, preventing damage induced by bruxism activities such as grinding and clenching. Additionally, it eases discomfort associated with muscle tension and headaches. Multiple tray designs are available for this purpose, each offering distinct levels of functionality and suitability based on the patient's requirements. The device is manufactured using additive manufacturing, specifically on a Formlabs 3D Printer utilizing stereolithography (SLA) using biocompatible material.
