The EMA oral appliance is indicated for patients with either a full or partial set of natural teeth. The patient’s remaining teeth should have sufficient height of contour for the device to gain retention at the gingival third, and the edentulous ridge must be fully captured in the impression.

Validations

Oral appliance therapy (OAT) is very effective in treating patients with sleep-disordered breathing, with a compliance rate shown to be as high as 90% over a 2.5-year period.

Jim Morrison

The best thing about Greg for me is how easy he is to communicate with and how willing he is to work with you.

Joel Burnham

Great service, easy to work with, if there is a problem I can speak directly to Greg or Scott and correct the problem. Very personable.

Lindel Stevens

I met Scott at the AGD meeting in Nashville, TN. In 2003. I was impressed with the work they had on display, but more so with the extra steps they took to finish a case. These extra steps translate into quicker seat times, fewer adjustments and happier patients. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Mike McCartney

I use this lab exclusively for esthetic work. Beautiful restorations, excellent communication between lab and dentist - Greg and Scott know what they're doing.

Q. Tran

I recently did several large anterior all ceramic cases with PRO-Craft and everything went beautifully. Thanks a million, keep up the good work!

S. Armbruster

I find that PRO-Craft’s work is exceptional. Their restorations fit well. Require minimal adjustments and look great. I also enjoy that they create my porcelain cases utilizing the Shade Vision Shade Taking System by Xrite Corp. This system incorporates a virtual try-in capability that they utilize on all of my cases.

William Lund

Just want to commend you guys and thank you for the cases you have one for us throughout the years. I’m impressed at the precision and quality of work I’ve received. You guys truly care and I look forward to working with you in the years to come.

Dr. Ryan Robbins

Pro-Craft is a great lab! 99% of the time I hardly have to adjust their crowns and everything goes perfectly. I would recommend them if you are looking for consistency in beautiful zirconia and implants!

How the EMA Sleepbetter Oral Appliance Helps with Sleeping

The EMA Sleepbetter oral appliance opens the bite and gently advances the mandible (or jaw) with elastic straps to increase airway space. The straps on the EMA mouth guard control how much the mandible is advanced. For example, the shorter the strap, the more advanced the mandible is, resulting in a deeper, more restful sleep without snoring and the symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Other benefits of the EMA® Sleepbetter oral appliance include:

Patient Compliant: Many patients find EMA appliances more comfortable to wear than CPAP masks, leading patients to be more likely to use the device consistently.
Customized Treatment: Each EMA appliance is tailored to the patient's needs, as the degree of mandibular advancement is adjustable.
Non-Invasive: EMA sleep apnea appliances do not require surgery or any invasive medical procedures, making them an attractive option for patients wanting a less invasive approach to managing their sleep-related breathing disorders.
Portability: EMA appliances are compact and easy to transport, making them convenient for travel.

The EMA sleep appliance is for those with either a full or partial set of natural teeth, and the remaining teeth should have a sufficient height of contour for the device to gain retention at the gingival third. When you take the impression, fully capture the edentulous ridge.
