How to clean my Narval CC appliance?

To keep your oral appliance in optimal condition, we recommend that you clean it as follows: After each night you use the device Immerse in lukewarm drinking quality water (e.g. in a clean glass or container). Clean the Narval appliance with a denture brush, making sure to brush the inside surface of the Narval appliance for at least 1 minute. A denture brush typically offers two different brush heads. The smaller brush with angled bristles allows for cleaning the inner surfaces of the Narval appliance, while the larger brush allows for cleaning the outer surfaces. Rinse well with clean, lukewarm drinking quality water. Carefully inspect the Narval appliance to confirm it is visibly clean (e.g. no visible particles remaining on the device). If necessary, clean the device again, repeating steps 1 through 4. Once clean, dry the Narval appliance with a clean tissue or towel and place it back in its storage box.

Dry the Narval appliance with a clean tissue or towel and place it back in its storage box. Over time the splints of your Narval appliance might change colour. This may be due to the acidity of your saliva and how well you take care of your Narval appliance. This will not affect its performance.

Er Narval CC tandskinnen det rigtige valg for dig?

Tandskinnen Narval CC er den ideelle løsning til voksne patienter på udkig efter en non-invasiv løsning til behandling af deres kroniske, højlydte og generende snorken. Tandskinnen er ligeledes en løsning med dokumenteret effekt til den gruppe af patienter, der søger et alternativ til positiv lufttryk-behandling (PAP) til behandling af mild til moderat obstruktiv søvnapnø (OSA), i visse tilfælde også svær OSA, hvis du ikke er i stand til at bruge et CPAP-apparat.^1,2,3,4 Din søvnlæge vil hjælpe dig med at finde frem til den optimale behandlingsløsning.

En lille skinne med stort potentiale

Lille størrelse:: Narval CC smyger sig ind til dine tænder og optager derfor kun lige akkurat den nødvendige plads i munden – og ikke en millimeter mere. Dermed får din tunge mere plads, hvilket muliggør naturlige tungebevægelser.
Slidstærk og let: Narval CC er lavet af slidstærkt og holdbart ⁵ polymer. Tandskinnen er utrolig let, så godt som brudsikker og er designet til at kunne modstå tænderskæren.⁶
Biokompatibel⁷: Narval CC indeholder hverken latex, parabener eller bisphenol A, hvilket gør produktet yderst allergivenligt.

Nem at vænne sig til: Det tager måske nok lige et par nætter at vænne sig til Narval CC, men det er faktisk lettere end du tror. Hele 86 % af patienterne tager Narval CC på hver aften.¹

Diskret: Tandskinnen laver ingen lyde, har samme farve som dine tænder og er så diskret, at din partner knap nok lægger mærke til den.

Kræver hverken batterier eller kabler: Narval CC skal ikke sluttes til strøm eller oplades, og der er heller ingen batterier at stresse over. Du tager den bare med dig som den er, uanset hvor turen går hen.

Få minutters indsats for mange timers søvn

Regelmæssig brug giver succes: næsten 90%¹ af patienterne holder op med at snorke. Ja, du læste rigtigt: de stopper helt med at snorke. Næsten 80%¹ af patienterne som brugte Narval CC til behandling af deres søvnapnø — inklusive dem med mere alvorlige tilfælde af obstruktiv søvnapnø (OSA) — oplevede at deres apnø-hypopnø indeks (AHI) faldt med mere end 50 %.¹ Hos ca. to tredjedel (66%)¹ af brugerne førte brugen af tandskinnen ikke bare til et fald i AHI-niveauet, faktisk nåede det helt ned til under 10 — og dermed var deres OSA altså helt væk.

Det kan du forvente af Narval CC

Når din læge har hjulpet dig med at vælge MRD-behandling frem for PAP, skal en specialtandlæge afgøre, om du egner dig til at bruge Narval CC.

Til dette formål foretager specialtandlægen en grundig undersøgelse af din mund. Hvis der ikke findes nogen kontraindikationer, herunder manglende tænder eller større, planlagte tandindgreb, foretager tandlægen et hurtigt aftryk af din mund i kombination med nogle målinger.

Når disse aftryk er ResMed i hænde, producerer vi en skræddersyet tandskinne til netop dig ved hjælp af computerstyrede præcisionsteknikker. ResMed er indtil videre én af ganske få virksomheder, der bruger denne højteknologiske proces til fremstilling af tandskinner.

Regular follow-up is the best way for you and your healthcare team to monitor your sleep health.

Your Narval CC™ oral appliance is made precisely to fit your specific needs, and your dental sleep clinician will adjust the settings to suit your treatment requirements. Over time, however, those needs might change, and your settings might need to be changed as a result. Follow-up allows your clinician to see how you’re responding to your therapy and adjust it to optimise efficacy and compliance, so you can continue to get the most out of your treatment.

If you stop feeling the benefits of treatment even though you use your equipment every night, you should speak to your care provider as soon as possible.

Love to go camping and enjoy the outdoors? It’s easy with Narval CC. Toss your appliance in it’s storage container and off you go! Just remember to bring your denture cleaning brush to clean the Narval appliance after each time you use it and an antibacterial denture cleanser designed for orthodontic appliances if you’ll be away for more than a few days.
