Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Kevin Wallace demonstrates the delivery of a mandibular advancement device with a removable thermoplastic liner for retention. The device is checked on a model to ensure it follows the intended prescription and maintains the correct bite position. The device uses removable thermal resin that becomes clear when heated to 160 degrees. The resin is pre-molded to the teeth models and softened before being remolded to the patient's teeth. Dr. Wallace shows the process of placing the device in the patient's mouth, checking the bite, and ensuring proper fit and retention. The importance of patient education and follow-up is emphasized. No credits are mentioned.
