Can medical 3D printing customize snorers?

Medical 3D printing can produce customized snorers. Its principle is based on the design of customized braces. For example, some clinics that apply digital diagnosis and treatment need to obtain oral data through digital oral scanning first, then print out the patient's dental model with high-precision 3D equipment, and then press it in high temperature and vacuum to get braces that match the oral teeth. The upper and lower braces are connected by memory metal springs, which imitate the temporomandibular joint of human mouth, conform to ergonomics, and form a "customized snore stop" through combination. After wearing the snorer, the mouth can move freely, and the memory metal material ensures that the spring will not deform during repeated oral activities. When wearing the snorer, the mandible pulls the tissues near the tongue and throat forward, the airway expands, and the breathing is smooth, which can eliminate snoring and thus play a therapeutic role in stopping snoring. For example, Haig Technology Company has this customized snore stopping device. It produces a snore-stopping device that fits the patient's mouth accurately through high-precision 3D printing equipment, and has obtained the invention patent of the European Union, which has a good effect on treating snoring. Therefore, medical 3D printing can customize the snorer.
