General warnings and precautions

CAUTION
• Prior to providing your Narval appliance, the dental sleep specialist
needs to:
- Check for relevant issues in the patient's medical history, such as
respiratory disorders, asthma and breathing problems. Any such
problems should be referred to the appropriate healthcare provider
before treatment.
- Perform a dental, periodontal, prosthetic and temporomandibular
joint (TMJ) examination. The following dental issues must be
treated by the patient's regular dentist before MRD treatment:
periodontal disease, Cysts and mouth ulcers, Teeth that need to be
extracted, Prosthodontics – such as crown or bridge, Orthodontics.
Temporomandibular pain needs to be further assessed by patient's
treating physician as well as any other TMJ disorder.
- Check if the teeth (natural or dental implant) anchoring value and
retentive morphology are sufficient to ensure the efficacy of MRD
without significant side effect of treatment.
• Do not eat while wearing your Narval appliance.
• Only wear your Narval appliance during sleep.
• Brush and rinse your teeth before wearing your Narval appliance.
• Regular dental review is recommended.
• Check your Narval appliance on a regular basis. If there is any visible
damage or cracking of a component, discontinue use and consult your
dental clinician.
WARNING
• Using the Narval appliance may cause the following expected side
effects:
- Tooth movement or changes in dental occlusion.
- Gingival or dental soreness.
- Pain or soreness of the temporomandibular joint.

the prosthetics and to adjust your Narval appliance to minimize the risk

or well-adjusted, it is essential to visit your dental clinician to adjust or
reline the denture.
